I am looking for advice, assistance in installing 4 new 20amp circuits. Anyone know what is required for permits and inspections?
I would like to complete the project myself and gain knowledge about the process.
I have posted project details here http://archive.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=138071

I may be able to help you out. Tell me about your house. Can we get to a crawl space or attic to run the lines?

tycham, The attic and crawl space are easy to access. The attic has blown isulation and I found difficult to work/walk around in, thus I am thinking that I would like to make the run in the crawl space which allows for hand/knees moving about.
I am located in King County and have heard really negative things about obtaining permits and other scarry talk while the house was being built :(
The house is less than 1 year old and has all 12/2 wiring. The breaker panel has 200amp service and is a Cutler-Hammer. I have 8 open breaker slots. The only large appliance on electric is the dryer, the rest is all gas.
I have a 250ft. roll of 10/3 Romex I would like to use to put in these 4 20amp circuits. I am thinking that I would be able to get 2 20amp circuits on a single ~50ft. cable run.
If permitted I would like to use 4 20amp GFCI breakers and split a duplex outlets so that each one is on dedicated 20amp circuit.
