Since its a slab, unless you are willing to tear up walls in your house, I foresee a long hose in your future. You might be able to do something if you have a sink that backs up to an outside wall. A decent plumber can probably tell you over the phone if it's worth coming to look at or not and should come out for free to price it.

Thanx for all the replies, sounds like a big job in this case. I'll get a couple free estimates and hopefully education!

You might consider asking a sprinkler company to give you options, using that splitter idea.

Actually in Florida its pretty easy to run PVC around the outside of the house. Just buried 8 to 12 inches deep with a pipe and spigot popping up where you want them.

I kind of envisioned it seamlessly "attached" to the house, but that's not a bad idea, I could live with that. I'm sure I'm not the first guy to ask. Getting someone honest who can do good work may be a bigger challenge.

I had 4 hosebibs on my last home. I added one while doing an addition, and the other brought from around the front of the house in pvc. I transitioned to cooper as it came above ground mounted to a 4"x4" I cemented in the ground for support.

If there is a crawl space under your house and you don't experience freezing weather in the winter it should be a fairly easy installation.
