How To Install A Weather Proof Outlet On A Brick House | THE HANDYMAN 

Handyman, I'm just a homeowner, but your videos give me courage to do simple modifications to my house that I would struggle with otherwise. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us!

Good video, although you are probably a "trained" electrician i would still include that its ALWAYS a good idea to turn the power off to the work place you are in before attempting to replace or add receptacles to the area.

I just turned 20 this year and I’ve been doing drywall and painting since I was 14. Your videos are super Interesting to watch and I’m planning to start my own business before this year is over since I’m gonna be attending Aviation college I need to pay my bills the way I know how to. Great videos and very motivating for me.

Good deal , love these quick fix type of deals , your channel is addictive man , been binge watching for last day in half lol good stuff

Thanks for the full process! I thought I had to recess the box in the brick and was totally overwhelmed. Thanks for this clarification, I now got the job done within an hour

If you drill out the whole plugs on the inside of the weatherproof box and use tapcon screws it looks better. Plus caulk the holes where your fitting goesinto the wall.

Always look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work.

Merry Christmas can't wait to see what you will have for next year

This was just the video I have been looking for. I’m going to be running a series of 3 double gang outlets around the exterior of my house for Low voltage lighting, Christmas lights and for power near my shed. Wiring wasn’t an issue. It’s all straight forward, but nowhere could I find how the wire/box was mounted. Specifically, if conduit is needed to go through the block wall. Just the wire and those box jammies in the back and a liberal application of caulking. Would you suggest a silicone caulk around the box as well?

I wear flip flops around the workshop too +The Handyman . Then again, Southern California is hot as can be.

Great content always!

I have bought new breakers that were no longer made for a 40 year home on eBay. I use weather resistance gfi outdoor outlet. Thanks

Good lord, is that house next to a Nascar track?

Man I would love to have crawlspace heights like that. Appreciate your channel & content.

Good work!

Awesome video sir!

Nice job!

I myself would like to see your edc. I am new to handyman work and I like to see what folks are carrying on them to make the days easier

How many set of wires can you run to a junction box?

I never turn off the power either I do lighted sign installs and servicing as part of my handyman and sign services and just hate the pain of finding where the power is I carry a tic tester also just to not get a surprise. After so many years of doing this type of work you just work with it hot....one exception for me is in wet areas . You do good work I enjoy your videos

6:11 Is that a woodpecker in your crawlspace?

did you label the circuit you installed the gfci on?

making it look easy

Easy to be a back seat driver. I appreciate your time and hard work making this video. Best part is it was free.

Crawl space heaven!!! Lol

You should install 3 in boards between joists to staple cable to. Where I’m from the inspectors do not allow you to have wire between joists without wood or a solid surface underneath for safety reasons. Not sure if it’s true in a crawl space

Are you at the race track?

Also PEX and Sharkbite plumbing review request? Merry christmas

how do you avoid getting electrocuted when hooking up to a hot junction box?

Is there a benefit on using those little tabs for the anchors compared to popping the holes in the back of the box out? Or is it just preference?

I prefer the in-use weatherproof covers myself, you can still use them even if it's pouring out.

is that a 15 amp gfci plug? in the same application could i use a 20 amp gfci plug ( and not touch the panel)

I do it just like you do, but wait, I take out 1/2 of a brick and then recess the box so that it is flush with the wall, and then drill 2 holes in the back of the box and screw right to the rimjoist, You drilled one hole for the wire and 2 holes for the box tab screws and with one more hole you could have had 1/2 a brick out. But really I did this on the back of my house and once on the front of my house and then when I added another box on the front I cheaped out and did what you did and surface mounted it behind a bush, where no one sees it but my wife who reminds me every time she sees it that I should have took 1/2 a brick out and done it right. But I'm an electrician so I don't get to cut corners at home. But this was informative and well done none the less, Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours.

Did you go to an actual lumber mill? or a vendor? Lots of lumber mills in the pnw it would be nice if i could just go one of those to find stock.

What's your go-to song when you're whistling? Tfs :-)

Question: GFCI outlet is great and all, but is the 12/2 going into the junction box a homerun from the panel? If not, is the outdoor GFCI receptacle the first one hooked connected on the line in?

My 50's house has NO outside outlets. Would like to install a couple. Also wish I had that much crawlspace height! Oh by the way, you're gonna have an epic beard in about 4 years, handyman!

What race track were you near?

Is it true that when drilling brick you should not drill into the mortar ?

What about the material you use like the Box everything

Girl light? Im guessing its pink

👍

+1 for "flip flops" ;)

Was that 12 gage wire with a 15 amp rated receptacle? If so did you check that it wasn't on a 20 amp breaker?

There's no insulation under your house, which state do you live in that this is possible. I'm Canadian and have never seen an uninsulated crawlspace.

I realize you are very versed in electrical and the code, is that cover ok with local codes rather than an "in-use" cover? I know that your type of cover can be used but only in certain areas of a building and under local code. Not criticizing, just wondering. Also the correct word is "wasting", not "waisting"...sorry, that's just me. Love your videos. Got great content and good production. I really don't need to see how every screw, bolt and wire nut are attached.

Always secure fasteners in the brick, never in the mortar. Don't need to use inserts

I’ve always been told to avoid drilling through the mortar - best to drill through the brick…

busy street

flip flops in the workshop

Please louder audio..I turned it all the way up and I can barely hear you in between my kids chaos...ha... good video

like an actual marijuana grow light

Hello, i love yours videos, iam a Handyman in Uruguay but, i need going to Autralia, you cant help my with work? Iam a very responsive,, have a xperience in only I can go without problems, I use hand tools, electricity, salary, I paint, and more. I just need the opportunity to work with someone there, you won't regret it, I want a better future for my family. My English is basic but I can learn day by day and I can teach Spanish too.

Don’t know what you where reading!

bad idea saying you don't want to "waste time" turning off the power, gives people wrong information to serious injury

U dont explain anything dude...
