Outside faucet replacement

[UserX]

Cut all that shit off and sweat on a new one. There's plenty of exposed copper, should be easy.

That little ball valve goes to my pond. The other before I removed it went out to the middle of the back yard before I put in the slab. I flipped it one day and saw the gusher mid yard. Thought I would just plug it off and use it for my auto fill. Yeah not so much.

Now that's some jerry rigged bullshit if I've ever seen it. lmao. I'd farm it out, just to not have to fuck with it after seeing that picture.

No fucking kidding. I wouldn't get near that goddamn thing.

Fuck it, I only had to get the fire extinguisher once. Shark bite fittings rule! I hit the thing with the torch so long I ended up firing up the insulation. Finally I said screw it and busted out the saw. That T fitting looked soldered but I swear when I cut it, it was solid. Anyways, cleaned it up and slapped a shark bite on. No drips and I love the new faucet. Now I need to clean up the wall and paint it. We won't talk about the front one. I am just glad it went back together and doesn't leak. I broke off the screw that holds the washer on the end but it wasn't sealing anyways. My theory on similar was way off also.



The old front ones innards I now need to replace.
