One house I lived in had no grounding at all in the wall outlets.  What
we ended up doing was sinking a ~four foot copper pipe into our garden
(where the ground would always be damp == more conductive), soldered a
wire to it, then looped that wire around the side of the (concrete)
house, and vampire tapped it into the rooms that needed it -- mainly the
kitchen and rooms with computers. 

I no longer had to worry about going barefoot after we did that.
