    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.
    All 120v receptacles in a garage needs to be.

    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.

    All areas with the possibility of being wet including unfinished areas of basements, I believe.

    This is quickly becoming a whole lot more involved.... I'm also not really happy with my "electrician" guy. :-|

    "Square D"

    two of the breakers look like they are GFI but they are only labelled "ARC Fault" they are about 1/3 of the way down on each side. They have a green TEST button on them

    I have 3 garage breakers. 1 was original 15 Amp, and two new ones I had installed by someone they are 20 amp. They look to be regular breakers.
