Friend of mine is remodeling the kitchen in a 40's home. No ground circuit

imbedded in plaster. Does not appear to be in conduit. The fuses are screw
in plug fuses.

I think it's a good idea.

I never understood why some people assume a GFCI requires a ground
wire. YOU'RE the ground fault when you touch a malfunctioning
appliance.
