1. Hot/Cold Freezeless Faucets Near the Garage
   starting at $19.00
   
   These freezeless faucets are designed to provide year round hot and cold water service regardless of outside temperature.

2. Garage Utility Sink
   
   
   A great way to minimize bringing dirt into the house, is with a utility sink in the garage.
   
   A garage sink is the perfect place to wash hands and dirty boots, clean paint brushes and tools, pot plants ... all those clean-up projects that all too often end up in your kitchen sink.
   
   
   in cold climates, make sure the pipes
   are insulated or use freezeless faucets
