Wow this thread shows me that I need to take more pics of my shed now that is painted complete.

There are lots of reasons to not put on GFCI in and run everything off that. First one GFCI can run to every bath outlet...Lets say you trip it in the upstairs bath then you have to walk all the way down stairs to reset. I would $20 one time to never have to do that. Also outside outlet is...

This. Owners manual can't be wrong.

Very nice setup. Love the built in tool boxes.

Seems to me to be a lot of block in that pic. what is going in to shed?

I am glad to see this thread has stayed positive. My 2 cents is this. Side wire are nice but I would prefer option C they are easy to work with. I replaced all the outlets in my living room and children's rooms with tamper proof outlets that are back wire side screw type receptacles. The...

I just put a QO panel in Got it from Lowe's for $150 with a five breakers. That gives me a 200 amp panel with 30 spaces but i can put 10 tandem breakers in for a total of 40.

Update. Shed doors are on. This is a 5' door.

hhhmmmm LOL this as turned into a sh!t storm. By issues I was more so looking at putting a gfci on the load side of a gfci. Like was stated they can trip and be a pita. But i was just giving a statement that anyone can take the way they wish. Most of the other members here seem to be...

Not wrong. they can have issues with bleed voltage and one can trip the others if they are not wired correctly. GFCI devices do have a small circuit board inside them that can get warm if you have a loose conection anywhere in the circuit. But if they are all getting a little warm I would say...

What gage wire are you using, What size circuit, and check your connections. Also make sure you don't put two gfci receptacles on one circuit or you could have issues.
