You guys are not going to like what you are about to read. I am asking you to break the law. Change the GFI outlets and put in normal outlets in there. Remember how little protection the regular outlets were around the sinks or wet locations when we were little? How many of you were shocked when you had to plug an appliance into the outlets on the kitchen counter or use the hairdryer? They are overly sensitive and now need to be temper proof. An even bigger pain in the ass. I took them out at my folks place, so I don't have to go and replace them every ten years. All my exterior GFCI plugs have been pulled. Hell, they are covered from the rain so what do I care? I would never do that to my client's home. My own home, you bet your ass. Then, there's the insurance aspect you had to deal with. Common sense is again out the window. Is it safer? Of course. It is necessary? I am not entirely sure anymore?
