    Ugh.  Gate valves are the devil's ball sweat.   1/4 turn are ball valves.    I can't tell you how many effing leaky gate valves I've replaced in my lifetime.   I can tell you how many ball valves.  2.   Both were in line on a 3 inch air dryer that runs at 120psi.  They were roughly 25 years old. 

    Use ball valves for everything else, even fixture stops. For hose hydrants, anti-freeze or even regular, use multi-turn.

    Gate valves are a different animal, they work fine unless you need to get to a different job or it's 4pm on Friday.

    If the old one is quarter turn, yes, just replace the whole thing.

    I've had really good luck with Prier multi-turn anti-freeze hose faucets. Just cut the old one out and measure before you go to the store. They come in 8, 10, 12, and 14" lengths.

    Both the vacuum breaker (top round knob) and the stem/washer are usually repairable.

    There are four different styles for the vacuum breaker that I carry on the truck, many of the washers are standard faucet washers (1/4' or 00 size).

    The video above explains stem removal pretty good. The vacuum breaker is pretty simple too.

    That being said, I typically replace them. Especially if there is access on the inside.

    If you decide to go for it and get stuck, give me a call

    And, if your faucet is 1/4 turn style, don't even bother trying to fix it. Not a fan of those in that application.

    Thanks for the input everyone.

    Definitely going to be hard wired. Still deciding between NVR with POE or older school DVR. Most likely go with NVR.

    Anybody have a lift they want to bring over to make it super easy? :)

    It's five minutes from DirtyDigz place

    I know this came up before at some point.

    Looking to add a cctv system to some shop space I lease. Thinking wired only. Most likely no Wifi available. There are just so many systems available. 

    Need 2 outdoor cameras, 4-6 indoors. Almost all will be mounted 15-16" above ground. Space is not heated.

    Was looking at a few 8 camera systems. 2TB? 4TB? Are the included cameras any good?

    Good brands? Brands to avoid?

    Based on what I've seen, thinking $300-600 range.

    Thank You

    OK so the wife and I are finally going to visit some of her family in Germany in the fall.

    I thought it would be good to learn a little German. 

    Anybody have experience with Rosetta Stone, Babble, Duolingo?  or any others?

    Don't expect to get fluent in 3 months, but maybe passable

    If you go Weber, get Summit or Genesis series, nothing below.

    I replaced a Vermont Castings natural gas grill with a Weber Summit S-470, Spent a little more than I ever thought I would on a grill, but could not be happier with it.

    I have installed Lynx, Napoleon, and Viking for customers and don't think they are 2-4 times better in quality compared to the price jump.
