Just finished having bathrooms redone (full gut). Code requires running separate 20A circuit to receptacles (GFCI), which was done.
Light fixtures in hallway (15A) also carried receptacles with no wall receptacles on 20A -- guess this was legal in 1969.
I told the contractor that the hall fixtures would be replaced, but needed a hall receptacle. Forgot to tell the electrician so, before the sheetrock went up, I had the contractor rough in a hall receptacle just outside the bathroom.
This receptacle was not yet connected at job end. My intent was to power from the GFCI in bath and contractor had run wire for same. Was told electrician could not make connection as was not legal. Why?
