The cabinet layout showed what looked like a pantry cabinet(so I put no recep) however what came out was a 12" wall cabinet that sits on a 24" countertop. Thus leaving 12" of top in front of the cabinets without a recep. Am I in trouble? Could it be considered a seperated space like a sink would?
Another Kitchen Recep ?

You're in big trouble. If there is 12" or more deep than you need a receptacle if the counter is 12" or more wide. Look at the diagram in the 2005 code in Fig. 210.52

Yeah but we don't allow one wire per hole. We require a spare hole for every run of wire.:grin:

The section of countertop in front of the cabinet does not qualify as wall space, so the receptacle is not required there.splinetto said:

I told you someone would invoke Charlie's Rule. I have to agree but warn that some inspectors may fight you on that.
