    I am pretty sure the outlets in the ceiling of my garage are not on a GFCI and my house is less than 6 months old.

    So i googled it. International code apparently states wet areas need to be.... Fuk.

    Guess I got a project this weekend. The ones in my ceiling are not gfci either, but the ones that the guy just installed on the walls are not and supposedly from what I read need to be.

    you can change breakers to gfci or you can pull your outlet nearest the box on that circuit and daisy chain it inline. since you can actually see the wires it should be quick to determine where to put it.

    Ooooo, I might just replace the breaker since I want to keep the look of black plate and grey receptacle, I would have to replace all of them.

    Are you sure they are not tied in to a gfci somewhere in the house or even a outside one?

    I will investigate more and find out. I could be wrong.

    I just finished installing the 30 amp 220V wall plug for my welder. Now I can work on the jeep.

    I bought the Miller 140 so I didn't have to bother with 220 outlets, regular 15 amp outlets are hit and miss though and not recommended. The work cycle is shorter, but meh it works for hobby stuff.
