Claim 2:
3. A method for temporarily blocking access to the interior cavity of a wide junction box during pre-use construction activity, said method comprising the steps of:
initially fitting a first temporary cover over the cavity of a junction box to occlude a portion of the cavity, the first temporary cover having a generally rectangular body defined by two generally parallel gripping edges and two generally parallel side edges, the first temporary cover further having a cleat extending directly and outwardly from each gripping edge, the first temporary cover further having a stop tab extending directly and outwardly from each cleat, and wherein at least one cleat has a notch contiguous with one of the side edges of the body,
said initially fitting step including arresting movement of the first temporary cover by contact of its stop tabs against an outer edge opening of the cavity,
subsequently fitting a second temporary cover over the cavity of a junction box to occlude a further portion of the cavity, the second temporary cover having a generally rectangular body defined by two generally parallel gripping edges and two generally parallel side edges, the second temporary cover further having a cleat extending directly and outwardly from each gripping edge, the second temporary cover further having a stop tab extending directly and outwardly from each cleat, and wherein at least one cleat has a notch contiguous with one of the side edges of the body,
said subsequently fitting step including arresting movement of the second temporary cover by contact of its stop tabs against the outer edge opening of the cavity, and
partially overlapping the first temporary cover with the second temporary cover, said partially overlapping step including receiving a portion of the second temporary cover into the notch of the first temporary cover.
