    Wiring multiple receptacles
    I have already run my sub panel and you would think I would remember how to wiring multiple receptacles. But I don't! Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I have a 20 amp circuit and I am connecting 6 receptacles on this one circuit. The first circuit is connected to the breaker (easy) but I cannot remember how to connect the next receptacle which will be located 10 feet away. Do I need to have pigtails in the first box (run the wire from the breaker into the receptacle box, pigtail the ground, neutral and hot to the wires going to the next box and also pigtail the ground, hot and neutral to the socket in the first box? Sounds confusing but I cannot think of another way to state it. I appreciate all the assistance you have been providing. PS I am using # 12 wire.

    Pigtailing each black, white, and ground at each outlet box is the best method.
