Question on junction boxes
Good Morning, I have a pretty simple question on electrical in a house.
Is it ok to use a junction box in the attic that is feed from the breaker box and from the junction box run straight runs from junction box to outlets? Tying everything into the junction box using the correct size of junction box.

Welcome to the forums.
When adding receptacles to a room with the walls in place...... it's usually easier to bring separate single cables up to a common junction box. So your idea is ok. For approx 4-5 cables you could use a 4" square deep (1900) box. For more cables.... consider using a 4-11/16" deep junction box.
