Changing my electric for our needs

I've had a few things I've wanted to change since day one and there is no better time than now.

I do all my cooking :chef: outside and when I have an electric heater plugged inside (November-March) and plug in anything outside (coffee pot, griddle, crock pot, etc), the 20a breaker trips since all the outlets are on one circuit.  :banghead: I had an open breaker space for the a/c... that I don't have. 

So, I changed the outside receptacle to a dedicated 30a circuit, caps off the existing wire in the back of the box and installed to commercial grade, professional series receptacle.

Second, I added a receptacle by the front bunk (where we sleep) to plug in a cell phone charger or a laptop.  There is one by the back bunk, in the middle by the galley and under the table but not near the front bunk.

Third, I change out all the receptacles to standard tamper proof residential outlets.

It will be nice to not be tripping breakers and have an outlet by the bed.  :thumbsup:

Was all that work done by a licensed electrician?  :thumbup:
