Default Bathroom outlets
Did a newly-constructed home inspection today. In the master bath, the only outlet is in the middle of the mirror, behind the 2-sink countertop. For some reason, something sticks in my mind about outlets in the mirror... anyone ?

There are rules regarding the location of outlets in relation to the sinks. But nothing prohibits their location in a mirror. It's fairly common.

Yep, as long as that Receptacle is within 3' of the basin, GFCI Protected and 20A then no worries.
