Oh you're RIGHT On the money there. To make matters worse (getting kind of sketchy already) is that this out WAS the end of the house. It used to be on an Outside Wall. Many moons ago, in a land far far away.. oh sorry wrong story! Many years ago this house was remodeled and the carport was closed in and turned into the kitchen. Apparently they just "piggy backed" (probably not an "electrical" term) into this outlet to give the new kitchen power. The ONLY reason I suspect this is when I replaced this outlet on 1/2007 for a GFCI unit I killed the power to the kitchen when I wired up this outlet wrong. Nothing Up-Stream of this outlet was affected but the kitchen was DOA until I found the err to my ways. Now on this circuit is the dining room, living room and now kitchen. This house doesn't have a LOT of plugs but it has some. I'd guess maybe 8- 10 plugs on it total. Makes me kind of wonder now....
