Question on conversion of garage light switch box to electrical outlet
I have a shortage of electrical outlets in my cellar and garage. I would like to convert the light switch shown to an electrical outlet. Is there any reason I cannot just install an outlet (GFI)? The romex feels like it has a braided insulation on the outer layer so I am assuming it is original. (If so that would be 1957). I don't need the light it controls since I have plenty of lights in the garage door opener.
Thanks
Mike
