Maybe someone could help explain just what I have

You can use a junction box as long as it remains accessible.

Thanks again. It would always remain accessible if I choose to use what I found today plus 25 ft more I would purchase. I had no clue that copper wire had went up that much in price.

It's actually come down a lot in the last couple of years. Still about 20- 30% more than before the "pandemic"

You're fine. The cable leaving the GFI might be bent a little tight, but hard to tell from the picture. The only real code violation is that the bathroom outlet shouldn't be on a circuit with anything other than the bathroom, but I might have installed a receptacle for a freezer on the same circuit as my basement bathroom when I remodeled it about 10 years ago so who am I to judge?

You were correct. I think I had that load wire leaving the GFCI bent a little too much.

It looks like I can learn more about wiring if I read this thread so I’ll dive into it later and learn and or comment if I have anything to add or questions.
