I hired a local guy to install a 30 amp receptacle at my house. I notice the romex is not in conduit. Is this something I need to be concerned about or have corrected? I live in MN.

What gauge wire is that romex? I think for 30amp it has to be at least 10 gauge.

I'll be installing a similar one (50A) on the side of my garage and next to where the T.H. is parked this fall. I'm just not wanting to get up in the attic of my garage right now and run a circuit through the hot attic during the middle of summer. If the box doesn't have a knockout on the back of it, it will have when I'm done.
