I have chairs and table in the middle of my living room. I want to

I know some of the people here will scream, but if is not a heavy

Insulation nicks/wears on hot side.
Still works fine with no indication.
Someone spills liquid, and possibly in contact with spilled liquid.
Now there's a ground.

Carpet cleaner liquid.
Now there's a ground.
