    what to do with this big unsightly junction box???

    My contractor left me with this junction box hanging out of the wall in my kitchen.

    I needed to move a socket and to do so had to crawl in my loft, there are wires all over the place (not a clip in sight) and 3 junction boxes all right near each other. Anyway what the hell is going on with this particular box?

    About to start a electrical in my basement, and need to do the rough in for potlights. The lights I'm using have an integrated junction box, and so there won't be a junction box to put in place until I'm at the drywall phase.
