On tap this weekend, attack my remaining et peeve with our house.

The builder went crazy with GFCI outlets. Literally crazy. Typing multiple outlets into the same circuit and wiring them in such a way that if one registers the slightest drain, they all trip.

They can and do trip because the lugs were not very tight and he also screwed up the grounds on several. This means they go off randomly - Even with zero load.

I've put up with it for this long as the worst offenders are on circuits we don't even use. Mostly in the basement. This is about to change though as I am putting in a large freezer and a dehumidifier.
