Suppose someone is considering building a new detached garage in Livonia, Michigan. The house currently doesn't have any garage at all. I have a couple of questions:
1) Someone once mentioned something about the minimum height of wires ran perpendicular to the framing. It was something to the effect that it's OK as long as the walls were to be covered with drywall, but if left open, the wires need to be at a certain minimum height. Do you know what the code says on that?
2) For the underground electric feed to the garage, can Romex cables be run inside of PVC conduit, or would these need to be individual THHN conductors terminated at junction boxes (one in the garage, one in the basement near the service panel)?
