You've heard of Chicago switch legs, Western Union splices, etc.
Here is a Miami weatherproof receptacle.

It's about half a tube of silicone.
The owner told me that a handyman did it about 8 or 9 years ago and he hasn't had any problems with nuisance tripping since it was "repaired".
By the way, the cord is spliced on to a piece of romex that goes into a piece of smurf, then up the wall and disappears into the attic.

Ahhhh, silicone and duct tape, what more does a man need?

I think that is what that Handyman must have drank as he was doing that work.

It looks water tight with the plug inserted.

Hey Doug,

Did you know your Avatar is a a childhood picture of DON SHIELDS from UL and formerly the NFPA?

When he states that he has 50 years of electrical experience, he's got the proof of it!

These are the two guys guys in the station wagon I've been telling you about. I see them all around Miami. A couple funny Cuban guys. They call themselves Hose A and Hose B.

I can't see what you guys find wrong. I always try to weather-proof as well.
