a little background.... just bought the house. when i was about to wire for a new dryer we noticed a rat chewed a bunch of wires in the attic. doesn't appear to have anything exposed, but a lot of insulation had been chewed. considering the wires probably haven't been updated in the 50 years since construction.... i figured i'd go ahead and rewire all the 110 lines. i am converting a breakfast area into a utiliy room. so i decided to put the new breaker box in there. this box is fed from an exterior box that contains all the 220 wiring which has been updated and looks to be in much better shape than the interior 110 lines. okay. so where i am looking for help is in the circiuts. i am curious of the best way to organize my circuits. (i.e. by room, etc.). it is normal to have the light fixtures and outlets on the same circuit? i have already put the fridge and washer each on their own circuit. i even ran a separate circuit to the attic to feed the light and outlet i put up there. i will also, put the microwave and disposal on their own circuits. is there anything else that should be by itslef? i have some experience wiring, but i have never planned out an entire job. any help will be appreciated.

I've just installed a sewage ejector in my basement. It requires (I believe) a dedicated 20A circuit. There is a utility sink very close to the sewage ejector (both are in the 'unfinished' part of the basement). I'm thinking that because the receptacle for the sewage ejector pump is near the sink, I have to use a GFCI outlet. But, I think I read in another thread here that it's not a good idea for a pump to be on a GFCI. I certainly don't want this breaker tripping unnecessarily! Advice?
