Just to protect the wiring and keep it snug out of the way of the countertop installers. After the new counters are in I will need to cut holes in the counter top where the old outlets were and hook them back up. The outlets are currently assembled as they would be in the wall but hanging outside the wall. I don't know if it's ok or not so I just wanted to get them secured and not have any issues with the cabinet company about it.
Exactly that. I just need to get them out of the way for a short period of time. The cabinet company wanted to charge me a lot to have to touch the electrical. The outlets are going right back into the countertop when the new one is laid, in the same place.
I planned to open the drywall, install a junction box onto the stud a few inches down the wall. Cap the wires off, and secure them in the box until the work is done.
