As I noted in my previous post, we're using the '99 NEC here in Va.,, not the '02, so only bedroom receptacle circuits require AFCI protection, not all bedroom outlets.

Therefore, I saved money because I stretched the single bedroom receptacle circuit to all three bedrooms. Had I fed ceiling lights alos, I would have needed two circuits.

The house is a Habitat for Humanity house, so it's probably around 1000 sq.ft.; we didn't measure it. There are three bedrooms, and four receptacles in each bedroom.
