I have a screen porch that was built back in the 1960's (guessing). 2 sides were just screen windows, no glass. Of course water got in and caused damage, which is being repaired now. I have windows so it will be dry when done; siding, windows, drywall. It's post and pier, but only has about 10" between the floor and ground.
I'm taking advantage of it being stripped down to pull all new wiring and adding some exterior, water resistant receptacles. In the future I'm going to extend a deck and build a BBQ shed, and I want to have power there as well.
How should I make power available and accessible to extend out in the future once the siding is on? The walls will be covered and there is no room in the "crawl space" to get under. In the picture the interior is to the left and right is the existing deck. The top blue box is where the exterior receptacle will be. I was thinking of using an external box with the threaded conduit port on the bottom. That would allow me to add conduit straight down the wall, go under the deck then out. What do you think, and is there a better way?
