I'm more worried about hanging neutrals in my house than loose
grounds. I'm slowly upgrading the interior wiring and splitting
circuits into lower loads per breaker. I've found several short cuts.
Metal boxes, pull new Romex, ground all the boxes, ground the
fixtures, switches and receptacles.
I've found one tapped in outlet that was "hooked" on the wires with
out being screwed down.
