   Sorry, I re read your post. You mean re feeding the next outlet in line. I can   
   do that but to tie into the existing breaker I would have to come in through   
   the top in the attic.   
      
   One thing I am wondering. My breaker is 20 amp gfi. Is this pushing the limits   
   for two hairdryers at the same time?
