My thinking is add a 50 amp breaker, plastic conduit to the front garage wall. 4 wires, 2 black, 1 white, 1 green. The cheapest exterior box does not include breaker which makes me wonder about GFCI? My primary question is what guage wire? Is 1 inch conduit large enough? I am kind of anal about being within code.
As always, Thanks folks

I believe a 1" conduit will be large enough but important information is that you will need 3-6 GA wires (Red, Black, White) and an 8 GA green wire (ground). If that all fits comfortably inside a 1" conduit then you are good to go.
