I'm not half assing it with electrical tape. I just spoke to my friend from work that built an addition to his house and did all the electrical work and he's going to help me out tomorrow. He said it sounds like 14 guage 2 wire, and I just need to cut and splice it. But to keep it in code, a box needs to be installed at the break and I'll just keep a blank wallplate over it once its spliced.
