GFI outlets need a deeper outlet box than do the non-GFI outlets. I'll need
to replace both box and outlets; I've a drywall saw on order so unless I
learn how to restore power to those outlets we'll need to temporarily move
the waterpics and electric toothbrushs to the kitchen for use. Sigh. I
suppose that eventually I should replace the three kitchen outlets with
GFI-capable outlets, too.
Happy New Year, everyone,
