I would like to add two more hose bibs on the outside of the house and haven't the slightest idea what it takes or who to call. I would assume a plumber, but I'm clueless. Suggestions/Ideas Ballpark pricing? TIA!

water + valve (or fixture) = plumber

I'm outrageous unhandy, so moving Heaven and Earth seems easier than installing a hose bib. Is this considered a large project to someone in the know?

Hundreds or thousands of dollars?
Are they going to have to dig up my yard?

Just trying to figure out if this is even worth it.

It depends on a lot of factors, such as location you want bibs installed, distance from current water sources, material on exterior of home, etc.

Honestly, you may be better off adding a splitter to an existing bib and running a hose to the new location.

Do you have a basement? Is it unfinished?

If both of those are "yes," it is likely to be a reasonable expense. Otherwise, costs will add-up very quickly.

Would it all be run in the basement? That sounds like it would be cheaper.

It's all about access.
