Sorry, my questions just keep getting dumber and dumber...
I just changed out my old Zinsco panel (that went bzzzt in the night) for a Square D. These new plug on neutral panels make it look easy. The inspector was happy with the work. However, when he then pointed to the pile of new receptacles and said that I needed a permit to change them so he could verify that I put the proper "GFCI protected" (and in some cases "no equipment ground") stickers. OK, I get that, but the next logical question is:
Since every single circuit in the panel is GFCI protected (I'm tired of being shocked in this house), do I need to label every single receptacle and/or device like the clothes dryer? If not in this case, what about new construction?
Could I just put a label on the front door like they'd do in California saying "this building is known by the State of Washington to contain GFCI protected receptacles".
