OK I agree I was wrong ;-) Live and learn. I guess I never really did enough residential to understand this rule. So this means the receptacles on the wall of the dining room have to be on the SA circuit ... interesting. In a "great room" arrangement, where does the dining area stop and the living room start? I liked it better when I thought the SA circuit served the countertops. So what usually happens? Do you tag a SA circuit before the GFCI for the fridge or do you put this big "table lamp" on its own 15.
