I was told that their must be at least two GFCI pleaced in each accessory building. Is this true. The 2008 code article 210.08(A)(2) states that their shall be GFCI in a accessory building but it doesnt say how many.

Check out 210.52(G), if it applies.

Actually none are necessary in detached buildings, however if there is power than only one is required in addition to any recep. that is there for specific equipment. Thus if there were a refrig. in place then I believe you would need to add another. Interestingly enough it can be on the same circuit.

The 2008 code removed the exceptions that permitted non-GFCI protected receptacles for specific equipment.

getting a bit jumpy there Don.. ?? No one suggested that GFCI could be waived for either of them ...

i am still in 05, i guess i better rewire my shop before 08 comes in. my cranky 20 year fridge doesnt like gfci protection. probably because of all the hack work done on it by the owner!

Yikes ,... that cranky fridge just might kill you one of these days ... if it trips the GFCI,.. my advice ,...repair or replace.
