One more question. When the house was built, the electrician spliced a run of UF to the NB cable for a light post outside. I noticed last night that the wire-nutted splice is up in the rafters. Shouldn’t that splice be in a box?

yes it should be in a box. if you want i have a wiring book if you want to borrow it.
