My dad and I just demoed the kitchen cabinets in their new house. When we
removed the soffits, the electricians ran wire through the soffit, and not
through the studs or between the 2nd floor joists. So now the wires are
hanging loose and aren't even long enough to reach the studs.
It is legal to splice wire (14-2, etc) as long as there is an accessible junction
box, right? I don't like doing it, but the alternative is running at least 8 lines
from the panel to their respective outlets/switches.
