What if I cover the existing box with a solid square metal and the grommet/conduit stuff to protect the wires? I think removing the existing box is going to be a huge task. They didn't use screw. They used nails. Once I get home tonight, I will work on it again.
Thanks for the warnings! :huh:
Not to meet code..... The way the electrical code is written, no active junction boxes can be located where parts of the structure need to be removed to access the box (NEC 314.19)
I believe this would still be considered a junction box even if it is just acting as a pass through.
