If this statement from Mr. dyount is correct, dependent on interpretation I may be inadvertently in compliance.
"If it's in the kitchen it's required to be 20A circuit GFCI protected. If the work is being inspected the receptacles would be required to be tamperproof unless they are 5'6" above the floor."
It is almost exactly 5'6" from the floor to the edge of the counter, and then diagonally up to the center of the receptacle.
At the end of day 2 I have made some progress. The nexus of this project is Mrs WD's desire to move the garbage disposal switch from the right side of the sink to the left side. as well as replace all the ivory colored devices with black colored devices to go with her tile scheme.
I took out the disposal switch and pulled the wire into the basement and replaced the small steel old work boxes from the last remodel (in 2001) with deeper plastic boxes. I still have to fill the hole next to the box.
There was one receptacle to the left of the sink. Again, I yanked out the small steel old work box and replaced it with a deep 3-gang box. I replaced the outlet with a black one and added the switchs for the disposal and the under counter lights.
