I'm planning a complete remodel of my bathroom in the near future and wanted to ask anyone familiar with codes.....
If I redo switches and fixture locations will I need a permit and an inspection?
Also the way it is setup now is that a single breaker controls both bathrooms and the hallway light and outlet.
I understand according to code each bath should have it's own 20A breaker. If I do this, will they make me change that before I go any further to bring it up to code?
I understand local codes vary but has anyone had experience with this?
If so what was the outcome?
If I have to seperate them I am going to need to install a sub-panel because I don't have any breaker openings left in the box.
A related ?? .... the house is on a slab so all wiring is done through attic. If I have to run new cable to the bath how do I need to do this in the attic? Do I have to drill through the rafters and run it like that or can I run it across the tops of them???
I understand I need to fasten it every 4' along the way as well.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
