Thank you for all the responses and suggestions. Yes, I meant
stranded wire.

But to everyone who no-no'd covering the junction box with
drywall,
what
do you suggest I do about this junction box:

Don't worry about it. The Code requires that all junction boxes be
"accessible". In this case, the junction box is "accessible" by
removing the
fixture can from its frame.

I suspect this restriction is so the connections are easy to
locate
if there is a fire. But, as a volunteer fireman, I can assure you
that
during the fighting of a fire we are not going to be looking for a
junction box as one of the first things we do is shut the main
power.
I think this is just another "feelgood" clause inserted by some
desk
jockey.

Not at all; you should read codes and avoid helping anyone with
house inspections.



I have the latest code book. 2008 I believe. Could you please point
out the page that tells me that the point in question was NOT inserted
by some desk jockey? If you can, I promise, I'll never help anyone
with house inspections.
