I am installing an outlet on a porch of a brick house. Do you just knock
out
a space for the box and wedge it in or is there some special way in brick?
I
presume that you should put a special cover on the outlet to protect from
the weather.

If this is for occasional use, and you are tall enough to reach it, look at
putting it in the soffit. Great for Xmas lights, etc. Also usually easier to
get a wire to it. Yes, you need a weather-proof cover. If you do put it in
the brick, you want a weather-proof box as well, since the back of the brick
isn;t always dry. Remember to put a GFCI upstream.
