So outside my garage, I have a faucet. When I turn it on, nothing happens, but wait, inside the garage water sprays out through a hole in the wall. What the hell happened and how do I fix it? loll
thanks,
Scott

Hole in the faucet assembly, usually caused by freezing.

Get a new frost free silcock, and next fall, unscrew the hose before winter.

If you left your hose on over the Winter, then you find a nice surprise when you try out the hose for the first time.

When you replace your faucet, please post a picture of it here.
