If you DO find a damaged wire there, then call in an electrician if you
can't handle the repair yourself. I'm no code mavin, but it might be
possible to make a legal splice of a damaged wire without having to pull a
whole new length by installing a box in the wall with a cover on it, and
that box could be hidden behind a picture.


If you used a big box you could probably make it work, but it wouldn't meet
code.


Why not?
