yep

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.

All 120v receptacles in a garage needs to be.

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

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.

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

What flavor of panel do you have?

Well... the gray kind?

Before I jumped into this I had not attempted anything electrical before.... heckuva way to learn.

LOL we can walk you through it. What brand of panel is it? Open the door and look.

"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.

You can get a 20 amp gray GFCI in gray. I have one in my garage right now.

Arc fault breakers are a little different and are a requirement for in the house. This is what you need if you want to change the breaker in the garage.
