Reply to comment by JamesHoIden in Attempting to move a wall outlet in my basement a few inches to the left and am totally stumped. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! by JamesHoIden

You mentioned cutting a hole in the closet behind the box. You could flip the box and either have an outlet in that closet or put the blank cover there, and install a new box fed from this one.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do right now! Someone already suggested it, what a great idea. Thanks for your help, I never would have come up with it on my own.

Just keep in mind there may be rules for number of outlets needed for every linear foot of usable wall space. Depending where you live.

You could also extend the EMT piping using couplers and a pull through 90. Your conductor may not reach though.
