Well... I got the faceplate off a few minutes ago... I am a bit disgusted...
First, we had to pop the breaker to my room... wow... Who ever labeled the damn breaker box did a horrible job. Nothing was labeled worth a crap, and THERE WERE MISSPELLINGS!!!!!! I thought i spelt stuff wrong! NO! Some moron spelt "light"
LITE!!!!!!!
Anyways, we found the breaker that killed the outlet... So as my dad and i got ready to get the flashlight out, i decided to be dumb and try to turn my light on...
IT DID TURN ON!! Also, the outlet right next to the one we were trying to replace had power! So, my room is on like two or three different circuits...
Idiots...
Well, long story short, the outlet wasn't grounded, so we didn't replace anything.
The wire was oldish too... The old mesh coating... I think our house is pushing like 85 years old...
I still want to check and see if my other outlet is grounded... if not I am going to be super pissed...
