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? |

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. Bill who has thought about jumping through the ice after sauna. http://www.google.com/search?client=...d+water+baths& ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

If so, do you find it useful in practice? 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. |

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. |
