I have three questions.
1.) Do outlets on the exterior house need to be on a GFCI or is it not required. I have no outlets on the front of my house and would like to add one, I have an outlet on the back of the outside of the garage and would either connect to it or connect to the eletrical plug in the roof of the garage.
2.) I plan on putting a 100A subpanel into my garage. Before I go to the city to pull a permit and look like a nit-wit I'd like to know the best way to do it. The panel is on the opposite end of the house and it's probably 60 up the wall, across the attic and down into the garage. I was initally thinking off running 1 1/2" conduit from panel to sub-panel and running the wires (whatever size is necessary) thru there. Is this the best way and what size wire should I use?
3.) I am also planning on installing a set of flood lights on the end of the house opposite the garage, do I have to run a nuetral wire all the way from the garage or can I pick up the nuetral from the main panel?
