i bought a new house and it comes with a garbage disposal build into the sink
now, it is wired up as follow, there is a thick electrical cord going into a junction box under the sink
from there, there is a normal size cord (im guessing 16 gauge 3 strand, whatever is generally used inside homes) going up to the kitchen counter, where the switch is
there is a second normal sized cord going into the actual grinder doohickey
now, here is my intent, on the top of the counter, where the switch is, i would like to add an outlet to run my coffee pot on
so, here is my question (presuming the house is wired properly)
can i come into the junction box and add a second wire to the hot, and one to the ground, and use them for my outlet?
this should constitute a parallel connection that would operate independent from the grinder, correct?
