hey kids nice to see you again so today
i want to show you how to cover your
outdoor faucet if you got a spigot
that’s sticking out here like this i’m
going to walk you through that i’m going
to make this video fairly short for you
uh but first i do have a dad joke for
you so you know when i was a kid i
actually wanted to be a plumber
but then i was told it was just a pipe
dream ah so anyway let me just walk you
through this it’s really pretty simple
uh basically what you’re gonna need is
you’re gonna need to pick up a cover
like this from the hardware store
they’re generally
uh
probably two to three dollars i’ve had
these ones for probably 10 years and
just keep reusing them every year really
depends on your climate too
what you want to do with this and when
you decide to do this we just had some
snow actually recently and so i went out
and um did this so all you got to do is
just remove the
the hose that’s on here okay i’ll get
you a close-up of this as well you
remove the hose and then you know this
is one of those scrunchy hoses of those
new scrunchie hoses and they actually
what i do
when i use it
i’ll spray with it and then i’ll turn
the nozzle off and then i’ll continue to
spray to run all the water out so
there’s actually no water in here right
because you want to actually if you have
an older hose that they’re those stiff
kind
when you remove this you actually want
to drain of the
hose as well because if the water
freezes that’s still left in that hose
that’s not good for your hose and it
could ruin your hose so so this is
already drained
okay and then all you do i’ll just show
i’ll move the camera so i can give you a
close-up of what this looks like and
each one’s a little bit different they
used to make them with a
wire um a metal piece that would go in
there and you tighten it but they really
simplified it so i’m going to show you a
close-up of that
okay so the way this works is you’ve got
this little hole this little loop right
here and you just you just put that
right over your spigot like that okay
and then you also on this particular
style this is how this works um it’s got
a button on the back and you just push
this button to slide
push that button right there
to slide it up and down this elastic
cord so this is all there is to it you
just take this and you put it on here
and then you slide that
like that and then it’s got this one
uh piece that goes in here
and you just slide that and then you
hold it tight and then you slide the
button
like that
there you go
nice and tight
that’s all there is to it so i hope that
was helpful for you thanks for watching
and god bless you
