Help!
I am expanding a porch and I need to move an outlet 3 or 4 feet. The wire is not long enough to reach the new outlet. How can I lengthen the wire? can I run the short wires into a new box, connect the new wire and then out to the new outlet.
If you can't help could you suggest an electrician that would do some switch relocation . It is only a 3 to 4 hour job.
