We bought this house a little over a year ago, this is one of those things that I've been checking off the long punch list. Have a bathroom light with multiple bulbs, one of which is broken off at the base, I couldn't get it to turn without the socket rotating so decided to remove the fixture so I could work on it on the bench. Figuring I'd have 3 wire nutted connections when I pulled the fixture off.
I removed the wire nuts on the white, black and ground but the ground connection was twisted about an inch long and I didn't have enough hands to get it loose. It's mounted up close to the ceiling and I really couldn't see what was going on, the only wire holding it was the ground so I cut it figuring I'd just wire nut it together when I reinstall.

I was surprised to see the ground wired to the white. is that an OK thing? The fixture is on a single switch--not a 3 way. It's always worked fine except for the one broken bulb.
Thanks, g

I've only had one...in dog beers.
