Outside water faucet?

I can't seem to find the outside water faucet to the unit I'm going to live in. My grandfather and I were going to power wash the duplex but since I cannot find the faucet, my grandfather is insisting we use the tenants since there's is out and visible. Any ideas on how I can find the faucet on my side?

IF you dont have an outside faucet,,,get one!!  Its not hard to tap into something somewhere to access YOUR water.  First place to look is the aprox. same place as your tenants,,,since most duplexes are exact mirror image.  I would put a faucet on BOTH front and back of the building to avoid dragging hoses around.  Make sure you use a freeze proof one, tip it down on outside so it drains, and make sure you disconnect the hose in freezing temps.  Pex is a good diy easy install

This wont be the last time you want outside water.  Some even put a soft water faucet for car washing too.  OR hot water mix faucet.

You can even get fancy and put landscape water system so your flowers and bushes look great with a timer and drip or bubbler system with very little water use.
