    One power source, two switches
    If I have one power source coming in, do I just pigtail the black wire to the two swtches and wire nut the white wires together? Also do I pigtail the ground to the switchor just wire them all together?I am running 12-2 wire. And controlling two different light sources.
    Also on 15amp breaker, how many 60watt bulbs is a good practice to run off it. And along that same lines, how many plug ins can you run with a 20amp breaker.. all 12-2 wire
