Thread: Putting a water line in shed

Tweet

Having access to water in the shop is great!

Having pipes freeze and break in the winter sucks…. and replacing them sucks really bad!!!


It gets cold enough in the winter here that I shut off the water to the shop and drain the pipes when it’s going to get below 25 degrees. You probably have one of these figured in, but just in case you don’t they’re pretty handy to cut the water off and drain the pipes.

And yeah, I found out the hard way to leave the drain open when you shut the water off so in case the shut off valves seeps a little bit the pipes don’t fill back up with water.
