What junction boxes? I see none in the pictures.

The junction boxes I had up looked similar to these:


Basically, any time that you connect multiple wiring runs (splices) you need to put them into junction boxes and those boxes need to be "accessible" to be valid for code. Mine weren't going to be since they will get covered with drywall.

"Accessible" just means exactly that. So if a junction box had any removable item (panel, cover, even a light or outlet) it is valid.

The only "boxes" in my latest pictures are the "backer boxes" made out of MDF. Those are not considered junction boxes since the wires will be accessible through the light that is going in the boxes.
