I'd like to know why the house inspector is arbitrarily picking the non
grounded outlets. If the house was built fifty years ago virtually none of
the wiring meets current code, so why not tell you to rewire it entirely?

GFCI are supposed to be used within 6 ft of a wet source (sink, tub)

My neighbor is selling his house in NJ and was told by a house
inspector that he has to have a GFCI by the stove and by the sink in
his 50 year old Cape Cod house.

The house has NO ground wire on the Romex since it was built.

I was always led to believe that even if you have a GFCI with NO GROUND
WIRE that you have SOME PROTECTION.
In other words, ONLY 2 WIRES - BLACK AND WHITE are connected to the
GFCI.

Would this hookup - only 2 wires and NO ground - meet a NJ home
inspection requirement ??

What about a GFCI BREAKER for the entire circuit ???
Pass inspection ???
