[TowerTalk] going under a drive way

[Al Kozakiewicz]

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.

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.
