Somebody took a shortcut wiring that place in 77. They started requiring ground wires in the 50s.
Still, not gonna kill ya. hopefully. You sure the ground isn't just cut off right above the cable jacket? |

Is the wire attached to the box? Is it a metal box?

You sure there isn't a ground in there? They really are a good thing. But if ya ain't got one, ya ain't got one.
Some guys just didn't believe in them and cut em off. If so ,you'll probably never get enough wire to work with anyway. |

Old timers like to cut them off flush. They were ignorant of the importance of them and had never used them, so they didn't need them. They hadn't <yet> been bit by a motor housing on a circular saw.

That was in limited locations back then, kitchens, garages, etc. I have worked on many houses built in the 60's that have 2 wire romex for bedrooms and living rooms. |
