I screwed up.
I waited too long before removing the garden hose outside my house from the faucet. I know, idiot! IT was really warm in North Jersey in Decmber through January, so I was getting in some extra work. Well it turned cold fast and when I tried to unscrew the garden hose it snapped the threads off.
Spring is here and I know have to get this fixed. I located the shut off valve inside the basement before the pipe punches through the wall to the outside. How should I go about repairing this? Can I get the needed parts at Home depot? I think I need a new faucet and some pipe to either connect all the way back to the shut off valve . Can I just attach a new faucet to the outside? I know this is pretty simple stuff for the pros on this forum, but I just need some inital guidance.
Any help is appreciated...!
