I installed two more outdoor water spigots in convenient places, and still have two more to do.
When we had the house replumbed, I had all the outdoor water spigots put on their own separate circuit which can be turned off, and a valve + compressed air connection installed for blowing out the lines. Winterizing the outdoor plumbing now takes about five minutes.
Simpler to just install the freeze proof spigots all around. Or they have a hydrant for the middle of the yard.
