Geez ... you left out the 36" rule.


*What* 36" rule?

Ok, so I have 2 doorway 36" apart


Then there should be an outlet between them.

Yep.

Yep and the 6ft rule is way over what should be required. When I did
my 18x30 addition I figured that was enough and spaced them every 6 or
8 ft (don't recall now) with the first at each side of any door - it
wasn't enough.

Going strictly by the 6ft rule it is possible to have just one outlet
on a 12ft wall.
