Hello,
In 314.29, it states that boxes need to "be rendered accessible without removing any part of the building..."
In the definition of "Accessible (as applied to wiring methods)" it says "Capable of being removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish..."
What if I have an attic room with a storage closet, the floor of which is some 1x6's deck-screwed into the joists? Can I have J-boxes under those floorboards?
I can remove the floorboards fairly handily with a screwdriver, but does this constitute "accessible"?
How about if the floor boards aren't screwed down, and have finger-pulls in them?
