I'm trying to wire my West Virginia cabin shell and I can't seem to find the
boxes that you put in the vinyl siding to hold electric outlets. The builder
put them in for two outlets and the outdoor lights. Now, of course, I've
thought of two more outlets I want to put in, but I can't seem to figure
what I'm looking for. I'd call the builder, but he's on vacation fishing on
the Chesapeake Bay. I, on the other hand, am getting ready to go from the
Chesapeake Bay to West Virginia for a working vacation. We could have saved
a lot of gas by each just staying where we were. :-)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have always called them light blocks. Most vinyl siding suppliers should
carry them.

The magic word is "block". Once you said that, my Google searches yielded
lots of reaults.
THANKS.
I never would have thought of that term.

If you haven't already, try an electrical supply company where the
contractors go for materials.
