    I had never before thought about an outdoor spigot having a covering,
    So whether I needed the tutorial or not, the idea behind it was a good thing. 😃

    You Sir are a Gem! This video from 2 years ago helped me to know how to use the cover today in this frigid cold freezing temperature, properly for the first time in life!! Sad reality, I am not a kid, never had anyone teach me or show me how it’s done! I didn’t loop the inside loop to the faucet and it kept flying off, now I GOT THIS because of your video!!!
    Keep putting out even the simple things some of us may never know to survive in life, not everyone have money to hire professionals for every little home repairs or money saving, energy saving tips!!
    How true so many children around the world even with father figure in their lives never have the learning you show them, or have the bond even if they have real fathers these days, and for those children who never had a dad or absent in their lives, you sir are the ultimate father figure they have through RUclips!! Thank you for offering your skills and life long lessons shared to children and anyone for free! I salute you Sir!!! Some chase after money or career or fame or women, but you take time to teach children of this world! It’s a beautiful and priceless gesture you are leaving behind as your legacy!!!!

    Thank you for this video! My dad passed away earlier this year and he always did everything and anything when it came to winterizing the house. So as it started to get colder I was kinda starting to freak out about having to do/learn everything that takes. And, I don’t know why, but for some reason I always thought this was like a hard thing to do… when actually the hardest part of it for me was just un screwing the hose as we have old hard hoses that need a lot of finagling 😂😂😂

    My pops died when I had turned 4. My older brother was usually out with his friends and my mom was working multiple jobs. A lot of stuff I learned was by trial and error and eventually the early RUclips videos. I’m glad there’s someone on here that dedicates the time and effort to show us youngsters what a dad or even just a parent should be able to teach their child. So thank you for your time and effort. Much love 🙏💪

    Hey, thanks for teaching simple stuff for guys, who haven't been that Lucky to have father figurę to teach them all that.
    As in my country, we have indoor valves, which we turn off, and drain pipe that Goes outside. This will prevent from water freezing inside, SO no need for covers. And if someone needs cover, we use plastic bags and ziptie/rubber band.

Gosh, now time to wrap the sprinkler system thing. Thank you and a huge hug! 🤗🤔👏🏻👏🏻

    Another option, if you don't have a cover, is to turn off the water from the shut off valve inside the house, then open the outside spigot. That drains the water from the last couple feet inside to the faucet so nothing freezes.

HVAC, water heater, under the sink, the dryer vent., the attic, the septic fields (what are those anyway?) - these are all mysteries to me. What am I looking for/at? How often do I need to check these things? Thank you so so much you are a blessing.
