...the same guy can go back and fix his own mistake.
I understand the idea but given what my guys' first attempt looks like, I'd be afraid to see what they did the second time around.

Techie, have you ever successfully used butt-splices on solid wire? Redsy pointed out they might only be for stranded, and I realised that's what makes me hesitant to use 'em: I've never seen any crimps for use on solid that small.

...But slack unfortunately gets you red tagged.
That is the only solution I've come up with so far; leave an "S" in the wire in front of each box so I have slack available if I need it. But I'm sure if I start doing that, I'll have someone crying at me about it. [Linked Image]
