Ok so i've got an outdoor socket that is plugged into a normal socket indoors via an RCD plug. It's one of those DIY outdoor sockets from B&Q.
What I want now is to extend this so that I can have a further double socket at the end of the yard.
I'm happy with using IP rated sockets etc, but was wondering if it would be possible to remove the power to the original socket, feed it into a suitable junction box with a connector block inside, and then wire the exisiting socket from that also add the new socket from the junction box.
Assuming that the loads etc on the cables and the RCD plug inside are all in order (only for decking/garden lights) then should this be OK?
Thanks
