Hope someone can help me with this, I'm looking to take the outlet out and add a new box on top of the one in the ground, put a cover on the front on the old one.
Can it be done and do you think it will be hard to do this?
It can be done easily. The question is, what kind of additional load are you placing on this circuit? At 10 amps, no problem. If you are are talking 20 on up, you may need new wires and a circuit breaker. It’s likely that one you show already is running off of the lamp post circuit. You will have to check out your circuit breaker rating, GFI? and decide whether it is 14 or 12 gauge wire currently in use.
