When we had to rebuild a house a few years back I swear the inspector was
looking for them every six feet.

I know for a fact the electrician had to come back and add one to satisfy
the inspector. The 14 x 14 rooms have 2 on each wall.

I would not want any less. *If I build again that will be my specs whether
it is code or not.

By definition, you _have_ to have two on each wall to meet the 6'
rule.

The 6' rule is no longer enough outlets in today's world, you need
more especially around any enterainment or computer center.
