As Tony suggested earlier, maybe a cord-mount receptacle might be the easiest route to go. Here is a (random) e-bay 20-Amp cord-mounted receptacle, which takes varying sizes of "SO" (rubberized) cord. . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201407022 Someone had pointed out earlier that, if you're going to use a box-mounted receptacle, that cutting out for a decora style outlet would be the easiest, but I tend to disagree. If you're only going to be plugging in ONE device, then use an outlet like this. . . (Also a random e-bay item) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260376549688 It's much easier to cut out a single round hole. ;-)
