Do you honestly think the DIYer is going tell an electrician about a buried J-Box? If you think that, I've got an ocean view cabin here in Colorado.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gone to a troubleshoot and ask if any electrical work has been done recently. The answer is always no. Then an hour later, they'll tell you, "well last week we got rid of the outlet on that wall" or something to that effect. You go over to the area, cut it open much to there horor that they'll have to patch the wall again, and find a very poor flying splice with tape and no wire nuts. I have one homeowner that has done something like this 3 times and always denys having done anything until I get close to finding the problem. Why won't he learn?
