Wiring Addition - Code Questions

[jaymay75]

I am wiring my addition and have some questions - house is in Pennsylvania - maybe you can help:

Kitchen:
I have an Eat'in area to the left of my kitchen and a dining room to theright. So it goes, Eat in area, kitchen, dining room.

I found a circuit in dining room (existing - newly wired) with just two outlets on it. Can I use this circuit to feed the lights in my kitchen. Can I use it to feed a vent hood above a range, or feed the plug for a GAS range? Can I use it to feed anythign in the kitchen or eat in area? Do the outlets in the Eat IN area need GFCI?

How many outlets Max can be on the 2 countertop circuits? Outlet every 2 feet - correct? I will have an island in the kitchen, how do I rough in the wiring with no island there now?

I'm running a circuit to the Eat'in area, can I also use this circuit to pick up 3 outlets in the living room?

I've heard that the dishwasher and garbage disposal Should and should not be on seperate circuits. What do you prefer? Can I put the garbage disposal be on the circuit that I pulled for the Eat in area?


Bedrooms:
Do bedrooms need to be on AFCI ciruits now? Does each bedroom need to be on its own circuit - or can they share?


Basement:
Do I need to wire the rough in for the basement for the inspection if it will be unusable now?

Thank you,

I am temporarily closing this thread, in accordance with the Forum?s rules. This Forum is intended to assist professional electricians, inspectors, engineers, and other members of the electrical industry in the performance of their job-related tasks. Your member profile does not indicate whether you are a member of this industry, as it only says ?contractor.? For all we know, that could be ?mechanical contractor.? Your question makes it clear that you are planning to perform electrical work at your own home, and the wording of the question leaves me in doubt that you are an electrician. We are not permitted to provide ?how-to? assistance to a ?do-it-yourself? person.

If I have misinterpreted the situation, if you are a licensed electrician, then send me Private Message to explain the circumstances. I would gladly reopen the thread, and post an apology for the delay and the inconvenience.
