outdoor outlet

19 years ago

We do not have an outlet on the outside of our house. Are there any products on the market that we could use, or will we need to have one installed? We would like to have one for Christmas lights and other random occasions when we need power outdoors.

We can't transmit electricity wirelessly yet so you will need to have on installed.

I'm still working on my power-over-wifi interface.

I have a fake dryer vent that the previous owner used to run an extension cord through to the back yard.

Heather,

Apart from the snide answers, yes, you will need to have an outlet installed. If you or your husband are not upto the task, call a licensed electrician.
