In this video from Steve's Garage I cover the installation of an outdoor weatherproof outlet into a brick wall. I will be recessing the outdoor outlet box into the brick so that it's as flush as possible instead of hanging off the side of the house. I'm not covering installing a new outlet or wiring, this is simply covering replacing or cleaning up an existing box. As is the case with most of my videos, this one assumes you have basic DIY knowledge and skills about working on your home.

This video is most detailed in the process of cutting the hole and installing the outlet box into a brick wall. I gloss over wiring since I am assuming you have that knowledge if you're tackling swapping out an outlet box.

Feel free to leave any comments or questions below, or head over to my Yodl to schedule some one-on-one time for more detailed questions. https://yodl.to/stevesgarage

Disclaimer You're working with electricity, and possible structural aspects of your home! Please make sure the electricity is off for the circuit you're working on. The brick on my house is non-structural, yours may be, so use caution when cutting into, or removing courses of brick. Additionally, please observe any local codes about circuits, outlets, or other work involving electricity and work on the exterior of your home. Everyone's home is different, so make sure you work according to your house no matter what I do in this video. If you burn your house down, electrocute yourself, or have a wall fall down, I'm not responsible!
