Got a lot of suggestions from this forum, which I really appreciate. I end up with installing the NEMA 14-30 outlet from the main panel, which seems to be more reasonable.
First time outlet and breaker DIY, let me know if there are any mistakes so I can correct to be safe. Thanks in advance.
3 things I will do while waiting for the materials: 1. Gorilla spray seals the crevice around the 8/3 wire; 2. Use a wire staple to fix the wire to the stud. 3. Use several zip ties to bundle the wires in the main panel.
Materials used in this project for those who want to DIY (let me know I will remove these item details if any rule of this forum is violated):
Grainger:
BRYANT Receptacle: Industrial, Single, Flush Mount, 30 A, 125/250V AC, NEMA 14-30R, Black $45
HUBBELL WIRING DEVICE-KELLEMS Single Receptacle Wall Plate: 2 Gangs, Std, Silver, Stainless Steel $20
HD:
#8/3 wires solid (due to the #10/3 shortage) $30
Eaton 2 pole 30 amps CH breaker $30
SouthwireSmart Box 2-Gang Adjustable Depth Device Box $15
Total costs: $140 + vs bids from the professionals ($500 - 1300)
