That is why I plumbed a frost free, hot and cold spigot on the garage side of the house when we built! 50 years of freezing my hands, makes a person wise.I just finished washing the exterior to get sand/salt off from the 6" of snow we had here in N. TX. It's only 36 degrees outside...what was I thinking?? Seriously, I had no choice. Headed to airport this afternoon to Barcelona to hop on a Viking Cruise ship for 9 days. Also, put the battery tender on the truck and wife's car. Now to take a HOT shower and finish packing!
