Outdoor tv: Any moisture issues?
Posted by NATidefan on 4/24/25 at 8:29 pm
So, I just hung an old tv on my deck. It's completely covered and will never get wet, but will be exposed to southern humdity. Anyone had any issues with that? Or as long as it doesnt get wet you're good? It's old, so Im not real worried about, more curious if I upgrade later.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Lmao. By warming the spigot up to a absolute max temp (that it wont get anywhere near) of about 80 degrees (probably more like 50)?
I think itll be ok. It gets warmer than that in the summer.

Too late once the house is built, but if you are building a house specify the freeze-proof faucets. They shut off back in the wall where it’s warm.
I would loke to have mine that way and could do it. But would take alot of pipe running to change it for basically one day out of the year I have to worry about it.

I’m guessing that there are a lot of individual factors we aren’t considering when determining when which pipes freeze
Covers work by helping trap heat radiating from the house and blocking wind. If your house doesnt radiate that much out there may not be enough heat to trap.
Could be fine with just those. But Ive had them freeze before when it was just in the low 20s for about 12 hours at night when I didnt have covers. This will be the coldest its been, rather be safe then sorry.

It is -6 here and we got the first water main break of the year. City crew was out with an end loader scraping ice off the road.
I have no covers on my outdoor faucets and never have.
Never even heard of them before
Thats great, but the last two years I didnt have covers and just let them drip and I was out there with a torch defrosting them.
Id rather avoid that. Covers alone should be fine after tomorrow, but I didnt want to risk with the 10 degrees.

You’re fricking pipes arent going to freeze because it’s 28 degrees for 12 hours.
Uh, the high here tomorrow is 25, with a low of 10 and will be in the teens most of the day.
They certainly will freeze. They have before when it wasnt that cold.

Then covered with the styrofoam spigot cover.
My wife(no pics) got them for her and the kids.
Supposed to last 8 hours on medium. Gonna swap them out before bed.
Thinking this will work well and not leave a frozen waterfall mess like dripping which usually freezes and stops dripping anyway.

Thats what I did with my last two and why I havent gotten one from a dealership lately. Probably will be waiting longer and trying to do it again.

Went to two to look today, didnt tell them how much I was looking to spend or anything about financing or down payments.
One wanted sticker price plus 1000 in doc fees and prep fees and would only come off 400.
The other wanted 3000 in doc fees and prep fees and would only drop those off.
I walked out on both.
Been a while since I went through a dealership, but seemed to be the sticker price wasnt really negotiable, just their add on fees.
I hate car shopping and admit I'm not well versed. But trying to learn.

They need to quit hiding/buring posts after a few weeks. That bugs me the most if Im trying to sell something and makes me wonder how much Im missing if trying to buy something.
I have a brand new sump pump for half off, but most people dont need that so its not a rarely searched item. But no one sees it cause it constantly gets hidden after a few weeks evem if you search for a sump pump.
