We had a freeze about a week ago. I forgot to cover the outdoor faucet. When I went to use it the other day, I noticed the plastic cap on the top of the faucet had popped off and now the handle turns freely. I tried to tighten the screw on the handle but it won't tighten. Any suggestions? Can I fix it myself or do I hire a plumber? If so, how much would a plumber charge for a job like this.

How do you spell broken? Maybe it is repairable, but I doubt it. I would have it replaced with a frost free hose bib. You do have to remember to remove the hose before frost time, but you do not have to cover it or otherwise winterize it.

This is awkward, but...
