Howdy all. This Fall I'm planning on installing an exterior outlet on my in-laws garage. The walls of the garage are finished with paneling. I would prefer to run exposed romex just to make the job more simple. Besides, an existing line in the garage is exposed romex that was installed by an electrician many years ago. The exposed romex would be well above head level and would be stapled. Can anyone forsee any problems in doing this? I can't see any cases where the romex would be subject to damage. As for the run down to the outlet box, the romex would be stapled to exposed studs in that area. BTW, I'm in the U.S.
