Fixing a Leaking Outdoor Faucet

When planting the mesclun, I turned my outside water back on for the first time since the beginning of winter. Nighttime lows no longer get down below freezing, so we should be okay if I leave the water turned on at the outside valve. But this reminded me that I've had a leaky outside faucet for a year now.....which is why I had to turn the main valve off last year every time I used the water. Well, no more. The spouse is going to fix the leaking faucet. So, I found a video at AOL videos, and the job looks easy enough, if one has the upper arm and shoulder strength to wield a pipe wrench. We'll see. I'll take some snapshots to show the progress of this "honey do" task.
