Have switch and receptacle boxes in existing drywall and I would like to move some of them. Due to suspected wire runs it would be necessary to add wire length (Can't rerun entire length) and the normal approach would be to put a blank cover on the existing boxes. Is there any other simple approach where I could splice the wire, plate over the existing box and cover the box with wall board which would meet normal safety and code requirements?
