ROMEX jacket damaged, does it need resplicing?
I'm just a homeowner, was DIY-ing a closet makeover. Took down a wall and see this romex coming out of the ground -- I don't think (?) I damaged it but maybe from rubbing on the wood it seems like the jacket is damaged (but not the shearth?). Does this need to be spliced? If so, it seems like I can pull the cable a couple of feet off the ground, so I think there's enough to put it in a box and make it accessible from inside the closet cabinet with a blank plate. But I don't know if this is required or electrical tape will do. Or should I get an electrician to evaluate?
