normel - I beg to differ on the number of outlets on a circuit. code says loading per outlet is 180 va per outlet. this works out to an amp and a half per outlet. divide 20 by 1.5 and you'll get 13. 14 gauge wire on a 15 amp breaker allows you 10 receptacles. I wired houses for 35 years and used combination wiring 14 - 12 gauge. I used 14 for general wiring and a few rooms BUT dedicated circuits always 12 gauge.
