Does your garden faucet have hot as well as cold water?

winter water is a bad idea in northern illinois UNLESS you have a "PARK MODEL"...you gotta wrap the standpipe and then you gotta wrap the supply line...leave the spigot cracked - etc...not worth the trouple

No, you don't need hott water to wash your goddamned deck. This is yet another example of the s*****ad Gracious Living virus.

Sorry pete, but all you need in northern illinois is freeze-proof faucets. ANY home center or plumbing supply has them.

who the f*ck are you?

thank you jim i stand improved...or malproved - misproved - nonproved...whatever

Hot water is nice for washing a car on a cold day.

When I want hot water I let the black hose lie about in the sun. Frivolous as I am I pour that hot water about so as not boil my plants.

My 1994 corolla was washed once.

Huh?

THAT'S what i say

Seems like unnecessary added expense. Probably a more expensive faucet, and you'd need to run both hot and cold pipes. If you need hot (car seems like a better need), just run the hose from the laundry room like you do now.

my driveway drains into the foxx river, so i only go to car washes and listen to Rose Royce.

Great suggestion, because I may not feel the need and it would be rare at best. As for the cost, the faucet was about 2x, there will be 2x pipes etc, so yes basically double.

The hose bib alongside my garage supplies "tempered" water, adjusted by a mixing valve in the basement... the last owner plowed nearby driveways with a tractor in winter and so having a supply of tepid water in winter came in handy to wash off road salt. I don't see any use for it in warm weather.

well, not having a deck, i wouldn't wash it with "hott" water. i do, however, have dogs & assorted livestock which i bathe every so often & i do use warm water, both because it's more comfortable for the animal & because soap washes out better with warm than it does with cold. i've been considering switching the outside faucet to one of the temp. adjustable ones, but currently it's just as easy to run a hose out from the sett tub in the basement (which is actually closer to the barn than the exterior hose bibb on the house)
