(first outlet is closest to breaker box) Last edited by tsperry; 04-27-2011 at 12:19 PM. Reason: spelling

From the panel, the wire goes to the line side, and the downstream receptacles are fed from the load side of the gfci. __________________ Yes I am a Pirate, 200 years too late. "Jimmy Buffett"
