I recently installed a new circuit in my garage. I ran EMT 1/2 inch conduit from the garage wall, where the wiring enters the garage, to the outlets it powers. I did NOT strip the outer sheathing away from my 12-2 NM wiring before running it through the conduit. Now that it's installed and working, I've read a few places that you're supposed to strip away that outer sheating. The reason being given is that the 12-2 NM wiring may overheat due to being sealed inside the metal conduit. My question is, do I need to re-visit my project and remove the outer sheathing? Or should I be okay as is? Other info: The circuit is dedicated to the garage, 20 amp breaker, and is only feeding GFCI outlets. Everything is indoors, no dampness in my garage. I've grounded the outlet boxes to the wiring and used a tester to ensure the GFCIs are wired properly and open as expected. However, I'm pretty new to this DIY work, so let me know if something sounds off. Thanks!

Ok, so I have a little issue ever since I replaced some outlets and a switch in my kitchen. I probably should first note that this is an old house so the wiring is a little different than most houses now. I replaced 3 outlets and a wall switch. One of those outlets was in a box with a switch that controls the light above the sink. The light switch still works but the outlet in the box with it doesn't. Also the outlet to the right of that one isn't working either but the other ones that are on the circuit with it are. I should also note that there is only one wire that is hot in the combo box and that is the black one in the middle with electrical tape on it. Everything was working fine until I hooked that switch and new outlet up. I read somewhere about removing the jumpers on the new outlets. I think the old 1950 outlets didnt have jumpers. Has anyone had an issue similar to the this one, or could someone possibly help me out on what I am doing wrong. Much appreciated. Thanks
