I have a junction box in my wall of an older home. here's where it's
interesting...main line goes to middle room light and out into all outlets
And lights on the next bedroom and into the bathroom to run everything. I'm
pretty sure these rooms are supposed to be ok their own breakers, correct?
Especially a bathroom. My other question is this, I found that there was about
a foot of wire added on to what looks like game up short to connect all the
power to lines. Very poorly connected. I managed to run out and get the Ideal
Wire connectors and connect everything correctly but I also know that this
can't stay permanent. I only did this to try and figure out what went to what
in this mess. Would it be better to just run new romex or is it ok to have all
these connectors in the box. I'm counting 6 conductors in one box but also
that extra foot of romex so everything reached. I'm going to try to post a pic
or two if someone's can even start to explain what the best route to go is. I
really don't want to have to trace the lines all the way back to the box but I
will if I have to.
