I have a house that has a garage outlet "protected" by a GFCI outlet in an unfinished room in the basement. I thought the protected areas should have individual - separate protection. Am I wrong? Common sense aside, is this allowed. The tripped GFCI in the basement turned off the freezer in the garage (right after a storm, I believe) the freezer doesn't get alot of use, so a week later (again, I believe) when it was opened, we found many science experiments.
