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.


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

Two on each wall where the wall is more than 2 bigger than 6 foot.


You cannot get 1 outlet to cover 14' of wall and meet the 6'
specification Best you could do would put it in the middle leaving 7'
on each end.
