@@sdybas I’m not a professional so it’s just a guess, but I would assume you just need to drill farther with the rotary drill and be careful towards the end of the cement block. Since the rotary drill (in my case a dewalt corded with a 1-1/8” bit) is made for masonry it should go through both the stucco and the cement block without issues. Just be careful towards the end of the concrete block cuz you don’t wanna go past the end of the concrete block if you are applying a lot of pressure with your weight, and hit some electrical wires or the back of the electrical box. Good luck on your project.
Sir, can you once again list the proper drill bits to be used to drill all the required holes thru the stucco wall, starting from the inside? Also, I only have a regular drill, and not an impact driver. Will that work with the proper drill?
@@CarlosGarcia-ls4hn on the inside I used a spade bit to cut a circle hole on the backside of the plastic outlet box. On the outside I used a rotary drill with a 1-1/8” bit (masonry/concrete) to drill through the stucco. I purchased the rotary drill (dewalt 1-1/8” corded rotary drill) on Amazon and returned it after using it for that one hole because they are like $200. Once I got through the stucco I just used a regular drill bit to get through a bit of wood and at that point I had a hole connecting my outlet box inside the wall (inside) to the exterior stucco. I hope that makes sense. Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
I followed how Everyday Home Repairs TH-cam channel did his. He did his the same way. Since there is silicone on the back and edges of the outlet box, I am confident it is waterproof. Thank you for watching.
You tapped off an existing GFI, to install another GFI. Thats not how its done. The one inside protects everything down the line. Thats why the terminals are marked line and load.
I’m aware how line and load works, the purpose of this video was to install an outdoor gfci outlet. The indoor gfci outlet was removed and replaced with a regular outlet at the end of the video. Thanks for watching.
@@PEDRODIY2 That makes sense. Seems like best practice would be to strive to wire a circuit so that the outside outlet in a chain has the GFCI outlet which is exactly what you did. That makes it easier to see at a glance that you have GFCI where it's required.
Thanks for your very detailed and thorough explanation of the installation process.
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Nice presentation. Never heard of Wago until now.
In Florida it's stucco over concrete block. Would you modify any of the procedures you outlined in your video with concrete block in mind?

Can you do a video about wiring basics ? Like super basics and explaining parts of an outlet
I can make a video on that, no problem.
Super helpful thanks

Thanks. Subscribed.
Why did you make holes on a weather proof box? What’s your daily job?

They make boxes with multiple holes already there
