Your GFI breaker must be more than 15 amps then if it covers multiple
circuits. Our GFI breakers are normally just 15 amps so a home would
need more than one. They can be at the breaker box or the end of the
line. I prefer end of the line in the bathroom as I can re-set it
quickly and easily but at the breaker box for the line for the car
plugin as out door ones fail in extreme cold, not that that's a problem
for you. [g]

Here, one can do one's own work without electrician's papers but yes you
need a building permit and a final inspection.

Never hire a colorblind electrician!

      Title: Trofie with Eggplant Pesto
 Categories: Italian, Pasta, Sauces, Vegetarian, Cheese
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 c  Flour; plus 1/2 cup
  1 3/4 c  Lukewarm water
      1 ts Salt
      3 tb Extra virgin olive oil
           -from Liguria
    1/2    Red onion; sliced paper

      1 sm Zucchini; in 1" dice
      1 c  Pesto

  On a floured board, make a well with the 2 cups of flour. Add water
  to well and make dough by traditional well method. Knead 10 minutes
  and allow to rest 10 minutes.
  
  Place 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. In a 12 to
  14 inch saute pan, heat oil until just smoking. Add onion and cook
  until softened but not browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggplant
  and zucchini and cook until softened and light brown, about 8 to 10
  minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and set aside.
  
  Roll dough into 1 inch dowel and cut off a inch piece. To form pointed
  semicurl, first roll forward on pasta to form small pencil and then
  backward 30 degrees to the left to form squiggle. Continue with
  remaining dough. When ready to serve, place squiggles of pasta
  (trofie) into water and cook until they float. Drain well and toss
  into pan with eggplant. Add pesto and toss over medium heat until
  well coated and warmed through. Serve immediately with grated cheese.
