With a tester, see if the screw that holds the cover plate is grounded. One
terminal on the screw and one in the small outlet slot. If the screw is
grounded, you can use a grounding adapter that plugs in and attaches to that
screw. You'll need to contact the building owner regarding installing an
outlet in the bathroom

Hi,

My daughter rented an apartment in an older two family house.
The receptacles are all two prong except two. What is the safest
way to use three prong appliances with this wiring?

The bathroom, believe it or not, does not have a outlet!
How difficult (egg, expensive) would it be to add a GFI outlet?

Thanks,
Gary
