5 x 8 bathroom rewire
In florida so 2011 NEC (I think?)
Haven't wired a bathroom in 5 years, need to know if anything has changed.
Used to be you can wire one 12/2 and put lights and sink GFCI on it, as long as you don't leave room. OR 14/2 for lights (shared branch with other rooms), and 12/2 dedicated for sink GFCI.
Is this still the code? Anything else change in last 5 years I need to know about?
Any real reason not to do the first (12/2 for everything)? 5x8 bath will only have 1 blowdryer running at a time so not likely to trip...
