Also, best practice is a dedicated circuit for the laundry room (I'm not sure it's required, but it's good). Then you still would have had 2 more circuits avail, one for each bedroom. | |

If NEC code applies in your area, having hall/outside/bathroom/bedroom outlets on the same circuit probably violates it. There are also special rules for outside outlets. | |

He cut corners and just ran them all together. I had the space in the panel box and I bought 4 breakers so that he could do that. He only used 2 of the breakers...one for the laundry room and one for the hall, bathroom and bedroom and outside outlets. | |
