Is this considered Counter top Work space for the Kitchen

[AC\DC]

Already roughed in kitchen and trimmed out. when I said O ^%@, So behind the sink is deeper than I think NEC says 12" behind a SINK were you don't Need to count for Length for the SABC.
Well its well beyond 12"........ Though if you see the portion were the wall would of been is about 6" and after that is no longer in the kitchen and is now in the Dinning Room. This is now an eating area and not a Kitchen working surface.
I don't want to put an outlet their and neither does the owner.

Does my interpretation that that over hand is now no longer in the kitchen make sense. My inspector pretty cool and don't want to throw that out if the idea sounds dumb.

Thought???????

What the 12+" behind the sin means is that the sink does not effectively divide the surface into two separate areas.

I would explore placing a receptacle in the end of the peninsula, facing the word "south", hopefully pleasing everyone.

I Understand that. I wondering since that counter top is now out of the kitchen as noted by the large dark grey area that is the wall. I need to post a picture wish I took one.
this my make it easier
Placing at end of Peninsula won't help me. I already have an outlet in each 12x12 beam.
Trying to claim from the 12x12 beam if you drew a line to the other beam, that overhang is now no longer in kitchen so won't be counter top space.
For spacing I need one right in the middle if its considered counter top space and that is incredible dumb since crap will be more likely to fall in the sink, and you use that receptacle you will have to be standing in the dinning room to use it.

Dining room countertops have the same spacing requirements as kitchen countertops so calling the space dining doesn't help you.

What about attaching a shallow Wiremold box and receptacle under the dining-room side of the counter-top ledge, facing the floor, perhaps using construction adhesive?

crap your right!!!! guess ill have to do something under the Eave.

 

[AC\DC]

Ya ill do that. Cheaper the better at this point lol, ill remember next time I hope

You can bring the receptacle out toward the edge some if you need to in order to comply with the 6" maximum overhang allowance.



I have always preferred the stepped counter-top look. Provides receptacle space as well as separation between the sink and the eating area.

I have the stepped counter top, had it for 17-18 years. Does have about 16" wide upper level though where your picture looks like maybe that level is only maybe 6" or so. Unfortunately wife now wants to go with all one level, is kind of the trend lately I guess, some even going about 4 feet wide with that one level.
