Pull patio outlet for garage?

[pds0006]

My patio and my garage share a wall and there are no outlets in the garage on said wall. There IS an outlet on the patio however so I thought I might be able to put an outlet in the garage that chains off of the patio. Is this okay? As in legal/safe/etc. I don't see why not but being the relative rookie that I am I figured I'd ask the dumb question before I start cutting into drywall.

I can't see why you can't do it. I would. Just turn off the breaker and check that there are not too many outlets on that line as is.

Also be sure the GFCI is wired up correctly, but basically that is the way to do it.

The GFCI is upstream from the patio outlet so I shouldn't have to do anything to it.
