Yes. I just don't want to deal with the soldered elbow etc.

Ok.

1. The blue valve is broken?

2. Why replace a hose spigot with a hydrant if you can shut the water off inside for the winter?

So many questions. If it can wait until next week, I'm off.

Short answer is yes as it leaks. At the very least, I want to replace it with a ball valve as I'm tired of replacing the gasket

We turn it on and off throughout freezing weather as the wife will rinse/wash her car every chance she gets. This, in part, is what keeps wearing out the gasket, and is why I want a hydrant. But I've read of hydrants failing, so you'll give me your best input

So many questions. If it can wait until next week, I'm off.
So many beers available

It can wait until you're off. Stay in touch.
Oh, and you'll get to see our new grass! It's not the whole property, but it's 300 square feet of sunny seating.

Sweet. I'll talk to you on the weekend.

Sorry I am of no help. I can only offer tree/plant advice for corals.

And you have already been a help to me in the past.
Sounds like you need to come by for some cuttings
