gonna add one to the front of the house, its yet another thing I wanted that didn't get done. Builder only put one on the back. I was under there this past weekend looking things over. In theory its as simple as drill a hole through the rim joist, add the sillcock then run about 12' of pex and tie into an existing 3/4" line. I'm planning to pre-assemble everything so that all I have to do under the house is cut the pex to length and splice it in. However I'm sure since it's plumbing there's something thats going to bite me.

Crocket likely won't need freeze proof, but its nice to have. That area doesn't get cold enough long enough as a general rule.
It might be normal now, but not historical for that area.

I'm seeing low negative temperatures for lows in the winter.
I've been here 22 years and never seen negative temps. Maybe in the mountains. It does get cold enough to freeze, but as I said, my crawlspace is lined and conditioned. It's one thing I insisted on. I was spoiled by the full basement at the old house and didn't want to be under there thawing pipes.
