Thanks Dan,
Outlets installed today as you described, breaker,space,breaker (vertically).
Electrician also wondered if there was any advantageous reason to route the wires together through the same holes in floor joists or separately (more holes and weaker joists). As far as you know, do the wires pick up any interference or noise from the proximity to each other or to other household wires (dryer wiring, low voltage, dimmer wiring, etc. I'm not talking connected to but near to. We figured route them together till the wall where they are installed about 4 feet from each other and try to give them some space from other wires running along the basement ceiling (through floor joists).
Thanks
Chris
