You know how bureaucrats are. If the code calls for GFI outlets every 5 meters minimum of one meter off the ground they had better be there!.................
Speaking of GFI outlets . . . I had a room added to my house and it included several outside outlets. The electricians placed huge, unspeakably ugly clear plastic boxes on each outlet. I asked if they couldn’t use the same sleek, flat covers that were used on the existing outside outlets. Heavens no! Wouldn’t be to code! But it was clear they’d heard this same complaint many times before.
