The shop is in my basement and I believe that general circuits (those

I recently had our house inspected for a sale. The inspector required a
GFCI on any receptacle within 5' or so of a faucet, but not on any other
circuit. It may be different for new construction or for your state but
I've never heard of an overall requirement for a GFCI.
