Does your garden faucet have hot as well as cold water?
 
I went by a faucet shop to see what kind of garden faucets are
available. I was surprised when the salesman showed me a couple with
hot- and cold-water connections.

I thought, who waters their lawn with hot water? But the guy made a
decent point that if you want to wash your deck or something similar,
it may be good to have warm water.

OK, good point, and I might go for it, but still I can't remember ever
seeing a garden faucet with hot water connection. Have you seen it, or
even better, does your garden have such a connection? If so, do you
find it useful in practice?

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 shithead Gracious Living virus.

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

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.

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.

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)
