I've got an outlet right behind the back top of my electric stove that cannot be used due to the stove blocking it. We also have on the same wall some counter space that we desire to have an outlet on. I realize it would have to be GFI since it's over the counter. All I would really have to do would be to find the stud I would assume and then somehow jab through the Formica and wall. Some problems though I think that would exist would be: 1. I don't know what's behind that area where I desire to put the outlet. Could be for example live wires? Although I would shut the power of course. 2. I've never mounted a box at all, let alone to a stud in the wall. 3. I don't know if that would require a permit on my part, but I'm assuming it would. 4. Maybe getting an electrician would be easier?

I have four exterior flood lights that are controlled by one switch, inside the house. When I turn the switch on they all come on. I'd like to add a motion sensor to turn them all on. Is it possible to add a motion sensor to turn on all four lights at the same time, or would I need a sensor at each light? I do not have access to the wiring except for what's at each fixture.
