My mother-in-law's condo also had a problem. My electrician neighbor came over to do some wiring work and found out that the outside outlets were not connected to the GFI. We figured that the original contractors working the job were tired of resetting the GFI all day due to their faulty tools, so they bypassed the GFI. Then they forgot to rewire it back when they were done. These guys were prime candidates for the Darwin Award.
