I've seen quite a few sheds and garages that are wired that aren't

the wife's garden shed for a light and an outlet or 2 I have to
sheetrock it??? I find that hard to believe based on what I've seen
out in the real world....

If the garage is detached, and you are using Romex, it needs sheetrock
or the equivalent to comply with the NEC, unless your state has
amended that section. Often the real world and the building codes are
in conflict. :-) It would be simplest just to use MC/AC cable instead
of Romex.

, unless your state has amended that section.

That is probably the case Wayne because I have NEVER seen MC/AC Cable in
ANY unfinished sheds or garages here in Maine including my dads garage which
he wired himself and is just a few years old and the CEO didn't fail
it...Gonna look into it though..Wife wants a light in her 10X10 garden
shed...Does that apply to attached garages as well??? Next spring I will be
wiring my attached garage with my dads help....Thanks....
