I don't know if anyone know the codes of warren michigan but the power wire that goes into the garage is above ground. it a yellow wire with 3 wires in it BLACK,WHITE,GREEN it runs from the back porch light(thats were it is geting power from) the wire leads from the light to what looks to be a old work light like the kind you hang from the car to see under the hood theres a wire pluged into it that gives power to the 2 electric outlets in the garage and once in a while the wire will come lose and the garage goes black i can also cut the power to the garage with a light switch this wireing is so out dated and this is in a rental home the inspecter said somthing about it once i think but nothing was everdone is this allowed anymore or was this a last minute wireing job done at the last mintue the garage is what is called a unfinshed garage (no drywall just studs) is this leagal or not and is it safe or should it be reported and if so who do i call.

I'm finishing up the house I'm building and needing to put outlets in the island. What is the best way to install them? Using a metal box and then a whip down to the floor is what I was thinking. The cabinets are 3/4 wood. The wires are already run and hanging in the basement waiting to come up through the floor. Thanks Brian
