I am planning to install 9 outdoor receptacles around our 100 year old home. Two of the nine will be weather-proofed floor mounted receptacles on the porch used for things such as charging phones, running a box fan, or maybe a laptop. The rest will be seldom used but will be there for a variety of reasons such as holiday light displays, or an occasional shop vac or power sprayer. (I've included a very rough sketch).
Plan: I was hoping to run 12/3 wire from the panel and feed 8 receptacles with the black line and then supply an outlet in the back yard with the red "spare".
Question: Can I run all of this on a 20A, 2 pole GFCI breaker?
I am a novice DIYr. I will have an electrician install the breaker at the panel to a junction box on the exterior wall. At that point I'll be running the lines myself. Actually, I'd like to have the lines/receptacles in place prior to the electrician's arrival.
Totally open to constructive criticism and advice!
