Welcome to my life, where every day is an adventure and an education. This weekend the lesson is “How a Frost-Free Faucet Works.” The stopper in the faucet goes way back into the pipe, so the faucet never freezes. At least, it never freezes unless you leave a hose connected to the faucet, which traps water in the faucet pipe, which can then freeze and burst.
Unfortunately, the lesson was learned after I left a hose on the faucet all winter and it froze and burst.
As they say on the airline seat info cards, “Ahora Usted Sabe.”
