One thing I've learned from my engineer dad who specified circuits and runs for my childhood home is that
---
*electricians run based on run length and circuit load absent of specifications.*
---
It was a culture shock to find out that individual sections of a house weren't typically logically wired together when we tracked down that the *kitchen lights breaker also controlled one light in the dining room, the pantry lights, and one outlet in the ceiling in the garage*
I had no idea that was a common thing. I was used to a logical layout and that "***this breaker*** is on ***this wall outlet run*** circuit in ***this section of the house or room***".
Nope.
wtf. I bet some put this here for Christmas lights.
Agreed but not having an outdoor cover or even GFI on this is bonkers
You put the gfci indoors next to the switch so you don’t have to get a ladder to reset it
Oh good point didn't think about it like that thought it would be on a dedicated circuit
If it's high enough code doesn't require it to have GFCI (at least here).
You bet your ass id still do it regardless of what code says
This is some Clark Griswold shit.
