"In a house that has ungrounded, 2 prong outlets, with wiring in good
condition, is it acceptable (and allowed by current electrical code) to
run
a separate ground wire from the outlets back to the ground at the panel,
in
order to be able to replace the 2 prong outlets with 3 prong outlets?
Existing wiring is in very good shape."

Thanks.




Regardless of electrical code, would you buy a house where some jackleg
had done that?

what is the difference? a wire is a wire.
