Hi there,
I'm building a deck next to my pool and want to relocate the electrical box that, I suspect, has something to do with my pool light but I don't know exactly what.
As you can see in the images, the piping is all rusted out and needs to be replaced, so what I'd like to do is first dig out until I hit solid piping, remove the bad sections, and then run the wires into a weatherproof box. From there I'll splice the wires and run them through two lengths of flexible conduit that will run up the 4 x 4 post to a new 2-gang weatherproof box mounted above the black line, which is where the top of the deck will be. I'm mounting it on the post so it will be out of the way and not sticking up in an awkward place in the middle of the deck.
I don't see why this wouldn't work, and am quite comfortable doing the electrical myself, but not knowing the exact purpose this electrical box, I thought I'd toss this out here and get some outside opinions.
Thanks in advance!!
