Kitchen area GFCI
What do you think, GFCI needed at this counter-like shelf within the kitchen pantry?

Re: Kitchen area GFCI
That would not fit my definition of "countertop", thus that would not be 'serving the countertop', meaning no GFCI required.

Does not, however, mean it is not a 'good idea' and worth recommending, just means that the client will pay for their own increased level of protection if they so chose to install a GFCI there, that's all.

Re: Kitchen area GFCI
Nope, not a countertop. It appears closer to resembling a wet-bar (not really) than a countertop.
