I agree but only if the interior wiring is insufficient or not up to
code. Our wiring was upgraded in the additions to the main what used to
be a summer cottage so the kitchen is all new wiring. The sockets are
split recepticles which means I can operate a toaster in the top plug
and deep fryer in the bottom plug without a problem. The kitchen is
rather small with very little wall space aside of the L. The long L
houses the cabinets, sinks, dishwasher, fridge, & stove. Despite the
lack of wall space there are two recepticles on each arm of the L and a
recepticle on each of the other walls. Code here says there must be a
recepticle every 8 feet. Whoever did the rewiring stuck to code We
have an electrician coming in to re-wire the old main house just to be
on the safe side.
