Well everyone I guess I messed up. In my reading of NEC 210.11(3)Exception I ran a 20 amp branch circuit to a single bathroom which according to 210.11(3) is ok, well reading the exception which states (210.11 Exception Where the 20-amp circuit supplies a single bathroom, outlets for other equipment within the same bathroom shall be permitted to be supplied in accordance with 210.23(A). I am sure by now all of you know what I did. I looked at 210.23(A) and didn't read any farther, so I hooked-up the lighting for the bathroom to the 20 amp circuit. Well my lead guy hit the roof and said "You wired it, you fix it" I have 12/2 ran to my switch box and 12/3 from the switch box to my lighting outlet using the black as my switch loop and the red as a feed through on to my GFCI receptacle (works great, in my own defense). My question is this "can I replace my 12/2 feed with a 12/3 feed and have a multiwire branch circuit setup. I will only be supplying line-to-neutral loads of course and the lighting fixture and receptacle are not on the same yoke so will I not need a two pole breaker or handle ties? The splice to the general lighting will be made back at the panel. This is a finished dwelling so I am trying not to cut holes in the drywall. This is my mistake and I am trying to fix it without to much stress added to the owner and my lead man.........
Thanks for all your help,
