GFCI outlets
Am wiring a bathroom with 4 outlets. Do all the outlets need to be GFCI or just the first one in the circuit. 2 of the outlets are right above 2 sinks.Should these be GFCI also?

You can use one GFCI outlet and the rest can be normal outlets, as long as the other outlets are wired from the load side of the GFCI outlet.
4 outlets? This must be a big bathroom!

Sorry. That was a bit of a test.
The rule to which I am referring is the one that requires a receptacle within 36" of the rim of a bathroom sink. If you didn't already know that, then please stop your work now and read a couple of good books on home wiring. Bathrooms and kitchens are very electrically regulated rooms (and rightly so). You can't just start wiring there without a lot of study.
