[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1568149, member: 234411"] Just curious about when the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) became code in the USA - see attached chart; bathrooms in 1975 (we moved into our house in 1977); kitchen 1987; and wet bar not until 1993. NOW, pre-code wiring is 'grandfathered', so we would not have needed to upgrade in our kitchen and bathroom remodels as long as the power outlet sockets remained in the same place, but we did for safety; and if we sold the house, I would not have to update the power outlet in the bar sink area.
