    Open Ground

    If I wire nut the bare wires together then I don't have enough length to put around the screw. I guess my only option is to put back the way it was and leave the outlets with an open ground. I don't like doing things this way. I like doing things the right way.:(

    Open Ground

    In a small bedroom there are 6 outlets. The last two have an open ground upon inspection the ground wire is twisted around the bare wire that is connected to the green screw. Is this correct or do I need to take the one wire put around green screw? Thanks
