The master bath is powered downstream from it.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
My condo has the kitchen, bathrooms and garage connected to the GFCI unit on the sundeck! It was built in the late 70's so I guess that was code. I guess not! There is a condo built in the early 2000 that was wired the same way but with the GFCI in the garage! You would think it would be in the code by then.

Did you know, a Laconia native invented the GFCI? I just found out when I read the obits. His daughter was my sister's best friend.
