A little help, please.
(Yeah, should have done the water 2 weeks ago, at least!)
Anyway, it's now 24f outside (1am night), can't "open" the valve in the faucet. Try to twist-open the faucet (ie counter- clockwise), won't move.
About three hours ago I started squirting Blaster PB50 "all purpose lubricant" where the stem meets the faucet body. Did that several times half-hour apart, still "frozen", so then I switched to wd40, an hour ago. Still nothing.
Question: do I have to warm up the faucet? Would that help?
(Could do it via "medical" heating pad wrapped around it, that in turn wrapped in what, winter coat, towells, ...?)
Whole idea is to get this done so I can drain the pipe so I don't crack a pipe.
Ideas?
THANKS!
David
