Romex2121,

I appreciate your comments. Though I can't account for any local codes you may be working under and also kitchen circuits if installed per code could easily be overloaded if installed per code minimum standards, I do not know of any code requirement for a maximum of 4 receptacles on the kitchen counter top small appliance branch circuits. Keep up with the good practice.
