Default GFI outlet

The finished parts of the basement don't require GFCI protection. The non
GFCI protected outlet for the washer is supposed to be a single, and for the
washer only. The idea is that the more readily accessible outlets are GFCI
protected. Personally I would never be standing in water and plugging
something in to any kind of outlet regardless of its protection


New in 2005 - outlets within 6 feet of laundry, utility, wet bar sinks
are to be GFCI. There is no exception for receptacles not readily
accessible. The non-GFCI not-readily-accessible washer outlet also has
to be 6 feet from the sink.
