ok... so another issue..... most of the house has 2 prong plugs...... however, i na light switch, i saw 3 wires, but only 2 were used..... does this mean the house is wired for a ground plug? or how does this work? i want all the plugs to be 3 prong..... even if they are not a gfci plug, then the circuit breaker in the garage should throw, right?


haha, i know nothing about electrical.... i do know there is a hot, a ground, and a nuetral? however, i don't know there standard colors or how they work......

 i am from the car world, where there is positive, red..... and negative black -- which is also the ground ( on most cars, some do wierd backwards stuff)
