It's amazing how electrical-code requirements have evolved for the wiring in bedrooms and bathrooms, the rooms that make a master suite.

When I started working on this 350-sq.-ft. master-suite addition, I received an electrical plan that met minimum code requirements in most instances and exceeded them in others.
