How to Install Receptacle Plug and Connecting to Indoor Switch
GFCI Outlet

In this video, I will show you how to install an outdoor receptacle (outlet). I will also show you how to connect your outdoor outlet to a switch inside your house so you can turn the power off and on, which is great for Christmas lights. I will post a follow-up video on putting up Christmas lights using this new outlet.

This job took a little over an hour to complete. If you have any questions please leave a comment below.  Thanks for watching!
