60+ year old thread.

Thanks! Putting it inside was my first thought but this is simpler.

Thanks! The builder liked another model from the same company, but these had better R value and were less money. We're pleased with the look. I might have liked more glass but I'm putting plenty of lighting inside so that will have to do.

Yeah the electrician (!!!) who put that in said it may need to be replaced every few years. If/when that happens I may look into something more robust.

 

Good morning everyone! Up early out west, volunteering to help with Running With The Bears Marathon again. My spot has to be in position by 5:30AM.

I know you had a great start to your day.

 

Good Morning all you Cool Old Dudes, and Susan.

 

Morning to all . Another day another to see what trouble I can get into!?!?

 

Not you Sue. My wife does this to me. I'll do it for you. . Thanks, I needed that.

 

Did not know we had a oldsters site, I guess those 60 and older can have fun with a Tacoma.

 

You guess would be accurate!

Not saying we would break the law, but we enjoy having fun with our Tacomas.

 

Old does not mean dead.

 

Welcome Doug. Not only fun but mod them and do actual work around the homestead with them.

 

Too far?

 

Good morning kids,

Just saying bi from my garage somewhere behind enemy lines .....

Have a Golden Gram Day

My wife is a better driver than I am.

 

You can buy a rebuild kit that takes care of that for around $30. Easy to do, just shut the water off and spin the spigot top off.

 

I thought I could rebuild mine, too. It was way too bad. I changed to a freeze free faucet coming from inside the cabin basement.
And digging up the hydrant ... PITA.

BTW. It is not my water. I have really good water. Some testers have thought that their machine was broken when they tested water in our area. Blessed to have awesome water quality.

 

The unreplaceable parts do wear after a while. Digging up a hydrant is the pits. I used work digging up fire hydrants...by hand. Glad those days are over.

 

I'm not sure why they don't just put a ball valve down there. I've had really good results with them on outdoor faucets.

 

Happy Birthday @Harry2015 . Enjoy the day.

 

Morning all
