Insulating Buckets Over Outdoor Faucets Keep Them From Freezing
 ✖  |
John Daugherty, Gray, Ga.: “Here’s how I made some insulating buckets to put over our outdoor faucets in the winter to keep them from freezing. I bent some wire into a cylinder, taped some newspaper around it, and put it in the center of a 6-gal. bucket. I then used a can of insulating foam sealant used to seal large cracks and filled in the bucket around the wire. Once it hardened, I took the wire out. That way the middle is hollow and I just set the bucket over the top of the faucet instead of letting it drip, or wrapping it with towels or blankets. This has worked well for 3 winters here in Georgia.”
