Okay, hopefully this is a straightforward and easy answer. I thought I was sure I knew how to work this out, but then as I looked again, I am second guessing myself. Nonetheless, I am a fairly new DIYer when it comes to electrical anyway, have done loads of research on the subject, am fairly intelligent and am being extra cautious.
So far I have added several outlets to existing circuits that are being run parallel so easy stuff there. This is my first new circuit addition. Nomrally with all my other projects, the circuits are in a line with a beginning and an end point. This one has that too, except I am tieing in one outlet from the basement that is actually way to the right of the last outlet upstairs. So, here is the diagram and my question...
I was thinking I could tie the basement outlet wo the parallel circuit coming from upstairs in a juntion box. If I do this, my question is how I wire it. Would I simply connect all 3 hot wires together(this include the line coming in from upstairs, the basement outlet, and the one going to the panel), the three white wires together, and then the three grounds together? I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Mike
EDIT: The basement outlet is actually MUCH further to the right than it looks in the picture.
