On my way to replace kitchen counter and bath receptacles to gfci which were on an inspection report for the sale of a house.
Although when the house was built the gfci's weren't required I feel good installing and not thinking or saying "grandfather"..
Now. The home inspector also sighted "covers" on the exterior receptacles of the house. The receptacle boxes are surface mount fs with gfci receptacle and hinged fs covers.
Would in use covers need to be installed or does the existing grandfather theory work ?
I don't have much of a problem installing the in use except that I think the in use would look ridiculous. I really don't like the seal from the in use to the fs box. And they are not the cheapest item x 7.
??? Thoughts to install or not install in use cvrs.
Thank you
