About 20 seconds after I entered the wrong house and the realtor calls and asks why my truck is across the street from the inspection. Well we determine I am in the wrong house due to her error. After that inspection I quit testing exterior GFCI unless I knew there was access to the house. The realtor and I both left business cards on the door to notify the owner of the mixup. Turns out the guy was an avid hunter and had 500 lbs. of Elk in a chest freezer in the garage that was on the GFCI I tripped from outside. I did go reset the GFCI in the garage because that is not that uncommon here. Not sure who would be liable in an instance such as that.
I never trip an exterior GFI until Realtor shows up. Good example why not.
