Great to hear from you, Creighton. I have not read the panel statement. However, IMO, the panel statement is an official interpretation of the NEC. In other words, I disagree with the panel but I feel like the intent of the Code is to count the area in front of the garages.

My question is what do you do is the garage is over four feet wide (I have never seen one that wide)? Since you can't count the receptacles in the garage, are you required to put in tombstones? [Linked Image]
