More power (outlets)

When we were having the dry rot damage at the rear of our house repaired, we discovered that there was an access door where the jacuzzi tub was plugged in and from where we could presumably service the jacuzzi pump motor. That was a very useful bit of information to have. However, it was also a good to know how the jacuzzi plugged in just in case we wanted to extend the power line from there to an outlet at the back of the house, an area that is woefully inadequately wired.

So, today, inspired by all the electrical work that Edward and I accomplished at their house, I opened the access door, connected into the outlet there and installed a new outlet for the outside. It was a job that took less than an hour and went exactly as planned. I even had all the necessary wire, boxes, covers, etc. except for the 49 cent outlet itself. So I did have to make one run to Home Depot. If only all such home improvement projects could go so well.
