Before:

There are actually a couple runs of relatively modern grounded, albeit still old and crappy, grounded wire in my basement, including one powering my shed that ran right next to this outlet, and its shitty old ungrounded black cloth cable. I hijacked that and repurposed it for this outlet.

So, no shed power currently, but this first job gave me the confidence and motivation to tackle the rest of the house now.
