Thread: Tradies, halp please, finishing basement

Hey guys quick question.

I have good contacts with my best friend who used to run a business flipping houses, had multiple contractors working for him etc.. I’m reaching out to various carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc for finishing basement in parts.

I got the framing done and have the electrician starting next. If I ever sell the house I’m just going to say I YouTubed how to do everything myself, since he won’t be technically legal in doing the work. It’s a journeyman electrician who has been doing it for a few years. Anyways, we have two outlets with separate breakers in the basement, to get another outlet with its own breaker into the bathroom it’s a big pain in the ass and price increase. It’s a guest bathroom that will see 0 use 95% of the year, do you see any problems with it sharing one of the two already existing breakers ?

Thanks will rep and send bang and zyn and slim Jim’s.

I think your pushing your luck imo

Thanks guys I will reach out to him again. If the inspector is going to want a gfci and it needs it’s own circuit I might as well do it now, I personally don’t care cuz no ones going to be blow drying etc.. down there but need to have it ready to sell.
