Installing Carriage lights on garage

I am helping a friend install carriage lights on the garage to light the driveway. The wall is frame construction with sheet rock on the inside and brick on the outside. What is the best way to secure the J-box to the brick? Also what is the best method of waterproofing the box?

Plastic anchors and screws should hold the box. Silicone exterior caulk should provide weatherproofing.

I'm updating a small bathroom, and have a 3 gang box for a GFI receptacle, and two switches for fan and lights. I can wire the hot line in to the GFI ... how do I wire the hot and common wires from either the hot line or the GFI to the two switches?
