WD15, Outlets should be rated 20 amps in your situation. Here's the deal, how often are gouging to draw 20 amps out of one single outlet in that kitchen unless one circuit is feeding lots of outlets and that are all being used at the same time. I see people put those cheap 15amp outlets hooked up to 20 amp outlets all the time only because they are much cheaper and the inspector never checks them
Really good, Jeff. I got lazy over the holidays, and I still need to install my ceiling lights. I also need some wall organizers. Then it'll be done.

My son is selling his house and had the buyer's home inspector point out that his subpanel had a breaker that was too large for the wiring it had connected to it. Sure enough, the wiring was correct for the load it was carrying but the breaker should have had a smaller amperage rating. It had probably been like that since the place was built.
