Hello,
I'm putting together a plan to install can lights and some track
lighting in my kitchen. Since we're removing the ceiling entirely, it's
a good opportunity to rewire the whole room. I've put together the
electrical/construction plan that I am going to submit to the
inspector. I plan to do the work myself and don't want to look like a
complete fool, I wondered if anyone might glance at my plan and offer
criticism....any input is appreciated.

I posted it here: http://www.vberth.com/kitchen/

I'm submitting a description and an electrical diagram. Does it look
reasonable, or am I in over my head?

I didn't look at detail but quickly:

Does the Code still require high efficiency (non-incandescent)
lights for the main task lighting in the kitchen?

Are the 2nd floor outlets you show tapped off the countertop
recept circuit? If so, that would not be good.

Countertop needs 2 dedicated 20 Amp ckts- feed nothing else,
although the nook and dining rm could be served too.

Bath needs sep 20 Amp ckt for GFI rcept and sep lighting ckt.

If you're fortunate, the inspector will sit down and make
suggestions to ease this project thru.

What do you mean "still"? AFAIK, it never did.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

Not *that* Code, TITLE 24:

It's being enforced (in various versions) by local gov't in other
states as well, so it's wise to ask first.

I have an actual sticker pointing out the minimum efficiency placed onto my
plan when it was checked and approved. It certainly was a requirement for
me (not with me now, so I can't quote the sticker)
