I want to meet the electrician that decided the garage and the master closet was a good place to put them, though.

maticuno, I doesn't matter too much on the voltage, but how you you get shocked.
For an example, if someone stood in a puddle of water outside and grabbed a 120 volt line, they could almost be bye-bye.
Or if a person were in the tub and the plug in radio fell in. Guess what would happen.
Most likely funeral services.
GFIC's are there for a reason.
Now that's JMHO.
Just curious, what part of the desert do you live in?

No, I don't keep any schedule. We have 2 outdoors that I test before use, another 2-wire house. I should snap a few in the "wet" areas now that you mention it.

polarbear, I can see one in the garage, but in the master closet?
That's interesting.
I think over here, if there's an outlet within 4' of a window or exterior door, then a GFIC is required.
I have one im my garage that serves 5 outlets. So they're all protected.
You never know.

sierraben- the one in the garage actually handles the outside plugs. The one in the kitchen also handles the outlet in the family room bath, and the one in the master closet handles the master bath plugs. Only the guest bath has the GFI where you'd expect to find it. This has all been through trial and error. Ask me how I found the main shut-off for the water supply.
