how about a outlet in a weatherproof box mounted on a short piece of
conduit concreted in ground.
you drill thru foundation below ground, use direct burial cable, and
dont have to mess with the foundation but still have a outlet.
I installed one like this near my driveway in the late 70s for working
on vehicles and yard clean up. the pipe inally rotted off a couple
years ago so I added a pile of cement around it, and its as good as
new.
amazing how time flies............
