Ideas, please. Hose stuck on faucet. [View all]
I live in South Texas and I've got a garden hose (a Stanley fatmax) stuck on an outdoor faucet that I can't get off. We have freezing weather expected this coming weekend. If I can't get it off, and can't get a plumber out in time, will I be safe just cutting the hose as close to the faucet as I can and covering the faucet and what's left of the hose?
We've had rain the last couple of days. It's supposed to warm up beginning tomorrow and be warm and dry a couple of days. I'm going to try WD-40, vinegar, and a blow dryer to warm it. But I don't dare put too much pressure on the pipe because it's old and I don't want to break it off. I know about applying counter pressure, but I'm an idiot and not good at doing it. So if I don't get the hose off, I'll cut the hose and cover the entire area.
Will that work???? Any other suggestions?
