I plan to install a new circuit for some landscape lighting and want to have a single outlet mounted to the side of my brick house. My plan is to surface mount a weather-proof outlet box to the brick. I can drill a hole in the wall and have the wire exit the house straight into the outlet box. Is this the best way to get an outlet out there?
My other question is, since the wire is going directly from the breaker box through the wall and straight into the outdoor outlet box, do I need to use any type of conduit?
The circuit with be 20A with 12GA Type TW wire and have a single GFCI outlet.
Thanks, Kevin
