let me ask our electrical dept and see if I can get you a source. I believe that there are power bars with GFIs.

Easiest thing, IMO, is replace the receptacles with the bathroom GFCI's. Turn offthe breaker, pull out the old one, connect the new one. Really, it's not too bad. If you want a hand let me know (I still gots me one hand - my left shoulder may be broken, but I still gots me one good hand!! )

I just may take you up on that offer Tony. Installing a wall socket would be cheaper than new power bars I would imagine.

i could probably come help you change them out. I am a journeyman electrican so it wouldn't be a problem. Mine took me about 5 min to swap out.

I just shocked myself really good last night while using my dremel with wet hands. I know, I ain't the brightest feller...

I went to RONA today and found they had GFI power bars for about 33.00 for a 4 plug unit.
