Yes Bill, hang the mirror, but when you take the pic, stand to the side.

The light fixture doesn't have a runner to the next outlet, it dead ends into it. Tisk tisk Bill! I dare not even bring up the ground wire!

Bathrooms are different due to the size, Kitchen is supposed to be 2' away
My bathroom has one 5" away on either side of the sink

Friends' summer cottage he had an outlet (not GFCI) right behind the kitchen sink. I installed a GFCI smh
He had some idiot friend of his run power
I had to downgrade 3 20a breakers that only had 15a wire
Then he had a 30a breaker on 20a wire that was feeding the water heater AND the dishwasher
Well, if it trips just put in a bigger breaker, right ?

He was an idiot, an electrician told him the breaker panel was a fire hazard - he did nothing
But he will spend $200 on craft beers
Also had his Hot Tub connected without a 50a GFCI - and when it failed, he went & bought another one instead of GFCI

all ground(s) wrapped to the existing romex. Both the light and gfi are fed by a wall switch rated at. 15 amps. With a 15 amp breaker. I think we are fine.

the line from the switch Is 14/3. A black ,red and white. White is common. Switch has a hot black. Feeding both the red and black as hot. At the fixture the red goes on to the gfi while the black feeds the fixture. No overloading on my watch.

Whatever helps you sleep at night Bill. Ever see Final Destination? I'm worried about you is all. I nearly burned down my motorcycle with an exhaust, I warn you from my own past transgressions.
