Default Inaccessible junction boxes


John White wrote:

Junction boxes under floorboards are considered to be accessible -
even when gaining access involves removing long floorboards, laminate
flooring, two sofas a piano and a complete set of the Encyclopedia
Britannica. :-)

Does that include fitted carpets on which are shelving units bolted to
the wall?

If so, thats *crazy* - a junction box buried in painted plaster would
be far easier to get at.

Or is it accessible as in "I eventually had to go down to the cellar to
find them."
"That's the Display Department."
"With a torch."
"The lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But you found the plans, didn't you?"
"Oh yes, they were 'on display' in the bottom of a locked filing
cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying
'Beware of the leopard.'"

I'm sure Douglas Adams would have loved Part P.
