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 monstrosity, but enough to cause a
pothole and ruined driveway.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] going under a drive way
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 water.
The first went straight, but the second one went crooked, so I did a third
and that worked. Through the two inch piece I ran my cables.

Can anyone tell me how one can get under a blacktop driveway? I want to get a
couple of 1/2 inch cables under without cutting or direction boring. It an old
farm drive way so I'm thinking I'm going to have to go down a couple feet
which I can because there is a ditch. Maybe 20 feet wide or so.
