removing outlets and rerouting existing wire

cfasulo

I am taking down a wall in my house and i have a bunch of outlets connected to the same circuit. I want to eliminate the ones on the wall that i am removing but rewire so the outlet on the other side of the room stays live. what should i do? I was thinking about using junction boxes to extend and reroute into the sealing but found out i cant enclose them into the wall.

i am in the US

i cant give specific advice on US regs but if possible the best option is to use unbroken runs from outlet to outlet

can't you put some outlets near where the ends of the wall you are removing used to be and then route new wring between them?

so if i am eliminating the outlets on the wall i am taking down and just cut the piece of the wire going from the circuit box and reroute it to an outlet that is on another wall would that be fine. And then i guess the outlets will run like normal. Cause all of these outlets that i am talking about every outlet in the livingroom is connected to the same circuit.
