I purchased a flat-screen TV for my wife for Christmas (and we opened it early to get it installed). We've mounted it on the wall and put the AV cords behind the sheetrock using outlet-like boxes. The power cord is still showing, though - and she'd like me to get that hidden as well.
There is a 110 outlet near the floor beneath the mounted TV. The mounted TV sits about five feet up on the wall. I'd like to install an outlet for the TV behind the TV. This would be directly above the existing outlet, but approximately four feet higher.
How big of a job is it to install this new outlet? Can I tie into the existing outlet? What materials should I be getting (other than a box and plug set)?
Any help is much appreciated. I figure this can't be too tough - my dad used to do this all the time when I was a kid.
