Roger. Bought GFCI at Lowes today and will install next weekend
probably. Looks simple enough considering I installed this outlet pair.
I also installed the breaker and wiring. Im going to make sure the
breaker matches the wiring again. The wiring is 14-2, I assume 14 is
the gauge, but not sure what the 2 is. Plus I never pay attention to
copper vs. AL. I dont recall matching the outlet to the wiring either.
I gotta get my head around this stuff. fortunately its only milliamps.

My basement was unfinished when I moved in. The box which was already
at the service panel was indeed a GFCI, the sump pump on other side of
the house was not GFCI, unless its connected to some other GFCI
somewhere which I doubt and surely hope not.

im having my basement finished now, and those newly installed are not GFCI.
