My main panel is currently surface-mounted to an interior wall in our back porch with the feed from the meter coming in through the backside.
Can I add lumber over the existing wall, re-run the wiring through the new lumber, while keeping the box in place, essentially making what was a surface mount box a recessed box? I'd like to be able to hide what would be exposed wiring in a wall, as the back porch area will eventually be visible from the kitchen.
What code sections do I need to be looking at that deal with this specifically?
