Home Improvement: Minor Water Leakage

[cbelt3]

what marcaroo said. When you repair faucets you break loose scale and whatnot inside the spigot. Next time you go through this- Remove the aerator first when you shut off the fauced. Tap it out, then repair the faucet, then rinse out the aerator backwards, then replace the aerator.

Shutoff on the sidewalk ? Eh- you must live where it doesn't freeze.
