I haven't done much residential work, most of my experience is industrial. Conduit, tray, controls etc. I was doing some plumbing work at home which is always a fun time. I thought I had this romex run pulled back but as I was sweating pipe it moved back, melted and shorted. So now I need to splice it. Can I hang one of those plastic boxes or a metal box behind the drywall to make the splice in? Just wondering if there is an issue with doing this because making a splice in a box would mean I don't have to replace the runs.
