But, of course, whatever I wire up after that will be code compliant for obvious reasons. My plan for two 120v 20a utility circuits will definitely be "in the wall". 240v 30a circuits may be "in the wall" or surface mounted via conduit. I have not decided yet...'need a building first to be able to visualize things better in that respect.
