Default Wiring Electrical outlet
In article . com, wrote:
Hi everyone. When we built our house I had the electrician run a wire
down to the basement so we could tap into it to finish the basement.
We finished the basement, but ran a new line. So now in the storage
area I have a 12/2 wire hooked into a 20 amp breaker not being used.
My question - can I simply wire an outlet to this wire?

As long as you install the outlet in a proper receptacle box, sure.
