How to unthaw garden hose

Jul 01, 2004 12 Replies

Last winter I forgot to bring the garden hose in the basement before winter hit and the hose froze up solid. My husband finally took the stiff hose in the garage and just put it up in the rafters because it was too stiff to bring in the basement, and too cold outside to mess with it.



Now it's summer and over 90 degrees outside and I need to water the garden. How do I unthaw that hose. Is there a way to blow the ice out or ise some sort of stick to push it thru, or do i need to just buy a new hose? My hubby said to just throw it away and buy a new one, but I think I can fix it.

call the fire department they are hose specialists. Or pour gasoline in it and light it. Or buy 3

I doubt if anyone will fall for this one.

Hi, Just minute, unthaw means freeze? Tony

So put it in the freezer until it shows signs of unthawing?

Uh-Oh, it might be Ice-Nine. Whatever you do, don't hook it to the faucet and turn it on, or the world's entire water supply will freeze solid!

So you want to re-freeze it? In your attempt to act stupid to make yourself look clever, you proved yourself the former, not the latter.

You thaw a garden hose by warming it. You unthaw it by putting it in the freezer.

**** DUH !!!!!! *******

Not if it is my wife it won't.

You are beyond blond jokes!

She's just a sweet thang looking to blow a hose!

Sherlock Holmes called to investigate: a skelton in a bathtub, shower water still running. Tells Watson there was no foul play, it was a female, then tells him it was a blonde. "How can you tell?" asks Watson.

"Elementary...that bottle in her hands...shampoo...she starved to death in a panic over the instructions."

"The instructions?"

"Wash, rinse, repeat."
