My house was built in 1848. I was wondering what I would do to put an outlet

little leary of trying to drill holes in the rocks of a stone foundation.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I mounted a single switch box to a block wall around 20 years ago. *It
is still there. *All I did was glop a bunch of Liquid Nails (TM) onto
the back and stick it to the block. *Propped it in place overnight
till the LN dried.

The LN bonded to the block and the box plus extended into small screw
holes in the box making 'keys'.

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............
