The hair dryer gets used on the Master Bed, Bath breaker. This one does trip on occasion... Maybe I'll try to run 2 separate 20A's up to that floor.
Any pointers when doing this? Is is normal to follow a vent pipe down to the basement?

Run a dedicated 20A circuit to both bathroom receptacles. Leave everything else alone.
Run one to the basement bath also- 20 amp, if you plan to install it later.(didnt see breaker for it)
