Only kitchen counter outlets are required to be GFCI protected

Sort of...

If it's within 6 feet of the sink (read 'water'), it has to be GFCI

available. service entrance cable and meter can must be replaced when
upgrading to larger amp main panel

14 gauge wire is for 15 amps max

12 gauge for 20 amp max
