Splicing Romex
Where does the other end of this "not long enough" cable go? Is it possible
to fish a new cable and just abandon the old one? It seems this would
probably be the best solution.

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.
