The previous homeowner shut off the water to the outdoor spigot so it would not freeze and no one could steal water while the house was on the market, great. Except he didn't turn it back on or show us where it was and we simply can't find it after a year of actively searching and it's summer again!
There is a water meter above my sump pump/crawl space entrance but I assume the black valve coming off of it is a whole house shut off. We replaced our water heater so I know it's not in the water heater closet. There are 2 red shut off valves in my bathroom between the shower & tub, one of which is horribly stuck (tried penetrating oil, hair dryer, etc)... could it be one of those? would a shut off for outside be in the bathroom?
My last guess is possibly the crawl space in which case my children will never play in their kiddie pool because I 'm not going down there!
Thank you, i'm obviously clueless but I feel ridiculous hiring a plumber and paying all their fees to come turn a knob if I can avoid it.
