My house was built in 1964. Most of the wiring is just 2 wires (no ground) I installed a GFCI in the bathroom, the main reason of course to have that safety ground. Well, up in the attic, the closest and most feasible place to tap into was a 2 wire (hot and nuetral) that only goes to 2 outlets. I tied the hot to hot and the ground and nuetral to the nuetral. I checked the GFCI outlet with a GFCI tester and it shows {wired correctly} and also it trips the reset when I push the test botton. Also, I checked the 2 outlets I tied into and they both work (110 volts) just no ground. Of course, they weren't grounded before either. Is it safe to leave it wired this way?
