Splicing wires
While attempting to side my house, I had to remove a flood light setup. In doing so, I had to cut a fairly heavy guage wire. My question is there any way to splice heavy guage wire together to avoid having to run a new wire through the house, which would be difficult. Thanks.

They make devices to splice just about anything. Just make sure you get the right device for the right size wire. For large wires, the answer is not wire nuts. Check out split bolts.

Tully, I am curious, was the cable/wire coming from inside the house or was it ran exposed on the outside of the building up or down to the flood light assembly??
John is right about splices, but I would like us to investigate further to possibly expose a wiring violation.
Thank you.

John Nelson would never advocate a open splice!! He is a very aware code -minded person.
tully asked a question and John answered it. Period.
I just wanted to make sure Tully was aware with the possible situation, I have seen MANY people run a 14/2 NM cable out a caulked up hole in the siding run it right up the siding and land it half assed in a box!! NO protection!! and looks like garbage. sounds to me that tully is ok with his conduit,
good job, how did the siding turn out? Ive never attempted it yet!!
