I am looking at installing a Viking E-40-SS. I am a techie, not so much into the construction end, so pardon my ignorance in this area.
http://www.vikingelectronics.com/products/pdf/e-40.pdf is the unit I got.
The house I am installing this on is new construction but completed. The exterior is Clay colored Certainteed vinyl siding. It says the unit is designed to be flush mounted into a standard single gang rough in box with dimensions of 2.25" x 2" x 2.84" Can I use a plastic rough in box? What is the best way to cut this out, a rotosaw/jigsaw, something else? The instructions recommend to use a siding mounting block, won't this look ugly vs just flush? The CAT5 cable run is already there but only pops out through a 1/8th drilled hole.
Do I need to attach the gang to a stud? What kind of caulk should I use? If specific Home Depot/Lowes parts can be gotten, links/parts#s would be uber helpful.
