Hey all! New to the forum. I'm in the process of finishing my basement and just had a simple (I hope) question for wiring. I am using two circuits with Romex 12/2 wire- one for outlets and the other for lighting. I brought through the garage wall and now I have to run them to the main panel. I was originally going to use 3/4" PVC conduit; however, I'm seeing some information state that a grounding wire must be used or if in a garage and the wire is less than 60" from the floor, steel conduit is necessary. Is all of this true? I already started using the PVC which is why I'm crossing my fingers that is acceptable. Thanks in advance for your input. I'm all ears!

So with that being said, I have no need to worry, right? I also failed to mention the wires are only 2 feet above the ground. Can I still use the PVC conduit in this circumstance?
The garage is attached. I do like the idea of a junction box although I think my lack of skill and knowledge may inhibit me from doing so. Thanks for all the input so far guys!
