[Mr. Michael]

I plan on adding an outdoor receptacle for landscape lighting, holiday lighting, etc... and I just wanted to run down my plan before I get started, to see if anyone can correct or point out any mistakes before they happen.

I am going to tap into a non-GFCI receptacle in my finished basement, and run Romex up through the drywall, and out the wood siding.

I am going to place a plastic outlet box, the "remodel" kind, flush mounted in the wood siding, and run the cable through the box, hooked up to a GFCI receptacle.

I am going to cover the receptacle with an "in-use" plastic box.

Is this it?
thanks for any and all responses.

Not sure what you mean a remodel kind. You will need a weatherproof box and the rest of your plan will work!
Good Luck!

He means he is going to cut an old work box into the siding, and cover it with an In-use, or "bubble" cover.
