A simple little project today.... using some alternative methods for insulating and protecting hose bibs & water pipes from mild freezes. In the video I'll show how I made simple protective housings out of PVC and Aluminum for various hose bibs around my property. Then I'll show a couple different options to insulate those housings using bubble foil, foam and good ol' dirt! Hopefully you might find some of this useful! Thanks for watching!

🔥🔥 HAT Sales Information 🔥🔥

If you would like to purchase one of the new Homesteadonomics Logo hats, please email me which color you want. I will respond to the emails in order and update in the comments. The price will be $35.00 shipped within the continental US only. My apologies but this is due to international shipping rates. I can accomodate paypal payments (I will send request via email) or cash transactions for local folks.

Here is the very limited stock I have currently. And depending on what colors are most requested I'll potentially have higher levels of the other colors on my next order.

8 - Gray (Decky Brand)
2 - Driftwood Khaki (Richardson 111)
2 - Navy/Khaki (Richardson 111)

Damaged/Discount Hat:
1- Olive/Khaki (District Brand) It's on the FAR left of the rock wall in the video clips. Mesh has slight fraying on right side. Just cosmetic. Still functional. But will ship for 10 bucks less at $25.
