Thx John, that is what I decided to do, just made up my list for Home

tomorrow.

OK then, and remember junction boxes are not allowed to be closed in,
covered up in any way, which is why inspectors don't like them,
especially in an unfinished area, where the temptation will be to
drywall right over them later on. Eventual corrosion of the wire ends
is probably the concern there. So it is always best to pull more wire
through and go to an outlet, where your junctions will always be
accessible. Cheers.
