I know it can be done cause I seen it on THOH. But really, they had a guest star Sparky Really good remodel guy, done it hundreds of times. Turned the switch leg from a switched outlet in to a feed for the switch and fed an overhead light.I wired up to an old uf wire to a garage. It was old, but it was sturdy and hooked it to a gfci circuit before it left the main. I labeled it gfci and no equipment ground. I was contemplating the number of reasons for the label. It wont protect short circuit from other source.
Useless for surge suppression. In the case of the detatched garage no ground rod either. Not sure how much is to be gained in old wood bld with a rod. It now is fed from 12 vs old 14 with a 30 on it.
