    Wiring a new bathroom off another room
    Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and have seen some great answers to good questions.
    I'm currently finishing my basement and am trying to put a small playroom and bathroom on the same circuit. In the playroom I have 4 can lights hookd up to a dimmer along with 5 outlets. In the bathroom I have a GFCI outlet as well as 2 can lights and a fan. The switch that I got for the bathroom lights and fan is one of those 2 in 1 deals (2 switches on 1 control). It would probably be easier if I just got regular switches.
    I would really like to do this work myself, but I just can't seem to get this bathroom figured out.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or better yet maybe someone could help me out with some wiring diagrams.

    The lights in the bathroom can be on the playroom lighting circuit. The outlet in the bathroom needs to be a dedicated 20 amp circuit with #12 wire, or it can be fed by a circuit dedicated for other bathroom outlets.

    Or you can feed the bathroom with the 20 amp circuit and only have the bathroom lights and fan on that dedicated circuit.

    Make sense?
