Adding a new light or receptacle to your garage or basement is easier than you think.

Always work from the power source to the end of your pipe run. That way, you always have an “open” end of the conduit for adding boxes and fittings. (It’s really hard to jam a piece of pipe in between existing, attached boxes.) Remove the existing box from the stud. If you have extra Romex in the wall, great! Pull it through the hole.
