If you watched This Old House Hour you'd know how to take out the single

clowns could do it.


1. I watch 'This Old House' hour faithfully.

2. I don't do any electrical work except pay the electric bill.

3. Still would not have fulfilled my wants/needs.

4. Last year I did a complete bathroom remodel on the original
bathroom of this house. Three (3) GFCI receptacles were
installed. One for the new tub and one on either side of
large oval mirror over the medicine cabinet. I am happy
with those two. The power strip was for the second bathroom.

Were the ones on each side of mirror done just for a balanced look?

I can possibly see a separate circuit for the tub (spa?) but a separate
circuit for each side of the medicine cabinet seems like over-kill. If
it wasn't for looks, and it's the same circuit, why didn't they put a
standard receptacle downstream of the GFCI?
