Re: One GFCI by sink, one not?
ASHI's SOP states a home inspector is to inspect "a representative number of installed lighting fixtures, switches, and receptacles". I have seen "representative number" interpreted as "one per room". If an inspector does not exceed ASHI's SOP that means he would inspect only one kitchen outlet. In this case if he happened to inspect the GFCI-protected outlet he would not have caught the non-GFCI-protected outlet. Just another example of a benefit of exceeding the SOP.
