I was wanting to add an outlet in my garage since I currently only have 1. However, the wall I want to put the plug on is an exterior wall. Therefore, the header which I would need to drill the hole in to drop the wire is way back in where the pitch of the roof starts to really squeeze down. Not to mention I'm not sure I could even stand the drill with bit up in the space there.
So I was wondering if anyone knew if I would still be within code if I ran some conduit on the outside of the drywall? I was thinking I could drop it from the ceiling right next to the wall and installed an outlet box on the outside of the drywall or maybe run bend in the conduit so that I could put the wire back in the wall at the plug. A little ghetto I know. I would much rather keep it all in the wall but I don't want to have to fight my ass off up there trying to find a way to drill the dam hole either.
