I've got an electrical outlet on the outside wall of my shop that is inset =
in vinyl siding.  It's=20
the old style covered outdoor outlet with the vinyl
trimmed around.  I need to add another outlet on the same wall and have no =
thru=20
wall access without major difficulty on inside wall.
=20
Whats the chance I can use a box extender and push the existing outlet out =
from=20
the vinyl and then run a conduit to the new location and mount the box
to the exterior wall over the vinyl...  Do they make the stuff to do this o=
ther=20
than regular 1/2" conduit.. I've used the plastic self stick wire covers in=
 different places
but screwed it to the wall...  give me some suggestions how to do this with=
out looking crappy.  I'll bet someone here does this every day.  pic attach=
ed
thanks
john
