- Did a 20 footer a few years ago. We have sandy soil and without that I think it would be difficult to do it the way I did. I hooked up a hose to a one inch PVC pipe on one end and jetted it with wate

- That is really tempting, but you have to be careful. Since you can't tell how much soil is being washed out relative to the pipe diameter, you could end up with a sinkhole. Not some car swallowing mo

- Hydraulic mining? Dig a hole next to the driveway, so you get a straight shot, then a piece of pipe and a water hose. Actually several pieces of pipe, so you can keep the thing reasonably straight. _

- Yes indeed.. that's why digging a big hole next to the driveway so you can see what size crater you are excavating/washing out under the driveway is important. What about some sort of horizontal bori
