pdh, yea, never thought of that, bigger house give more advantage to separate them. My self, I never really seen the need to separate them. Cost more money in wire and labor to bypass a receptacle that is maybe just under the switch box, to go to another room. Plus I don't really see the advantage of it. But that's just my opinion. Here in NC we have to put everything on the AFCI circuit, so like I said before, it gets more expensive, and around here, you don't usually get to name your price on house wiring. You either cut it down or don't get the job. Sometimes you still don't get the job [Linked Image]
