BBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRR...couwuld out nder.
EVERYBODY who lives in a freezing pipes area...you know who you are.
Do not forget to turn your water to the outside "hose-bib"(were your hose connects to the house) OFF. And leave the water faucet outside open. If there is any water left it will go out there instead of breaking the pipe.
If you do not do this, and a pipe freezes ...it can fill your basement with water. Or at the very least, cause your water bill to rise.
My friend "forgot" to listen to my advice. His water bill went up, basement had lots of water, and not to mention those presious belongings.
Take a minute and find your water shut off. If you do not have one, get one and install a frost free type...those tend to freeze less.
Just because you have a frost free, does not mean it does not freeze, I own a frozen one.
Tis that time of year. Take in that hose too.
