    DIY trick. The next time you do a mortar joint put tape across the brick and then when you remove the tape, it’s fresh and clean like it’s part of the house or wall. Works great.

    I'm replacing my non-frost free faucets early this spring. Probably using the basic Aquor cover system for the side (which I admit is a bit for bling purposes), and a frost free faucet in the back. I figure when I'm doing the work, the budget for these parts doesn't matter as long as it lasts 50 years.

    • @RogerWakefield

      I love the #aquor product. I designed a retrofit for them but they weren’t interested in talking about it. If they had a retrofit I could install them every day!

    I live in the DFW area and we have this EXACT problem. They tightened it, then replaced the washer but we need to get behind the brick and replace it. I would not say this is easy. Maybe you can come help us do it 😉

      Even if it isn't on a slab, that would be above the bond, therefore in a wall not a crawl.

    Why is your thumbnail a picture of a not-frost-proof hose bibb?
    A true frost-proof has the handle sticking straight out, not cocked up. This is a picture of a boiler drain being used as a hose bibb. Pre-80's, I'm guessing?
    ^^all said from the thumbnail. To offer help, I always recommend that (in the South), you walk around your house at Thanksgiving and disconnect the garden hoses. Best advice you can give.

      I have lots of rental property. Used to be a plumber. Best advice ever. I go around every November disconnecting peoples hoses. Also changing your furnace filter every month. Especially because we have heat pumps.
