Tradies, halp please, finishing basement
Hey guys quick question.
I have good contacts with my best friend who used to run a business flipping houses, had multiple contractors working for him etc.. I’m reaching out to various carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc for finishing basement in parts.
I got the framing done and have the electrician starting next. If I ever sell the house I’m just going to say I YouTubed how to do everything myself, since he won’t be technically legal in doing the work. It’s a journeyman electrician who has been doing it for a few years. Anyways, we have two outlets with separate breakers in the basement, to get another outlet with its own breaker into the bathroom it’s a big pain in the ass and price increase. It’s a guest bathroom that will see 0 use 95% of the year, do you see any problems with it sharing one of the two already existing breakers ?
Thanks will rep and send bang and zyn and slim Jim’s.

No and I don't think anyone will ever check it ever. All that a house inspector checks for is a gfi outlet in the bathroom so put one in. Other then that who cares that's its on the same breaker. A breaker is a breaker and will trip if there is a fault
Half of the crap you rear online in misleading. I was putting in a induction cooktop and the online pros claim you need #6 wire to run it lol.
#6 wire will run 10 houses or more on the overhead lines.
You are gucci bro.

I have 2 breakers feeding my Bathroom, as you ideally need a separate 20amp branch for your outlet feeding hair blowers etc .
I think your pushing your luck imo

If the inspector is going to want a gfci and it needs it’s own circuit I might as well do it now, I personally don’t care cuz no ones going to be blow drying etc.. down there but need to have it ready to sell.I have 2 breakers feeding my Bathroom, as you ideally need a separate 20amp branch for your outlet feeding hair blowers etc .

You push a light switch to slowly , and it trips when it senses the arc .
We all survived to adulthood without this BS . Just a cash grab is all it is
