I need to lengthen some old wiring in order to make all the wires of a 3-way switch come together in a recessed lighting box that I am installing in a first floor ceiling (no insulation).
In doing some web research, I see that splices can be done, but they must be done in a junction box, and must be accessible.
It is the second part that is confusing me. How can I make the junction box accessible when I just need to lengthen the wire by about a foot in the ceiling of a finished area? It wouldn't be a big deal to remove the light fixture, but "accessible" to me means the box is visible or in some access door.
Thanks.
