The second valve inside is the best solution. You get an inline valve and the necessary fittings, and install that valve inside the wall. When weather may get that cold, shut off that valve, and open the outside one. Then you can open the inside valve to use the water, and close it and drain the line when done.

The outdoor water outlet/faucet freezes and I cannot use it. The pipe comes from the basement, thru the basement wall and then runs outdoors.How can this be fixed? I heard something about making another faucet/valve before it goes thru the wall and then let the water drain from the outside faucet when not in use?Spouse and I are beginner DIYers...oh and... any advise about getting rid of the ads when you try to post via group website?
