quote "Macmikeman, the connecting edge is not determined by the slab of granite. The edge of the peninsula starts at the FRONT edge of the cabinets along the wall not at the side edge of the peninsula. Get the handbook for the diagram."
Scott the handbook is the opinion of the author's of the handbook. It has no official power of code. You will find that in the front of the handbook. It is also your opinion of where the countertop ends and the penninsula begins. I salute you on your opinion and tend to agree with it , however I feel it is too loosely worded and it needs to be defined in the codebook. They did it for corner mounted sinks and cooktops so they can do it for the penninsula. By the way the island needs only one outlet to satisfy the code unless it is broken up by a cooktop or sink and has a space to each side of said break of 12" or more. Also that space down there on the other side where the barstools sit is wall space and needs to have plugs in it on other than the small appliance circuits.
