Homeowner needs a permanent, freeze-proof outdoor water spigot that can supply both hot and cold water to a garden hose without cracking in winter.
Existing solution uses a retractable garden hose connected to indoor shutoffs/drains, but it's not permanent and risks freezing damage; no dedicated freeze-proof outdoor fixture that handles hot and cold water.
