Why 14/3? What are you going to do with the red wire?
Besides, I would have to look it up, but I think bathrooms require a 20a
circuit.
Your breakers are grounded? Must be some circuit box to have grounded
breakers.
You may find fishing is a great deal more challenging then you expected.
Have the power off from the electric company? They will love that
request... "Please shut off my power, I want to install a new branch
circuit." They will shut off your power; until you have the electrical
inspected.
If you aren't trolling, you better rethink your project. It is as simple as
you say, but since you clearly don't have a clue what you are doing, I
wouldn't want to use your circuit.
