Water line under drive?

[MarkV]

Thought I would let you know that we got our pipe under the drive. Ended up using the glue on nozzle from HD and made it through 10’ of our red clay about 18” below grade. Did hit a root that I thought was going to stop us for awhile until the nozzle slipped around it. Took about an hour of fun in the mud and I sure am glad Eddie Walker mentioned digging a diversion trench for the water. Without the diversion trench I believe we would have needed the scuba gear to finish the project.

Just so you know miracles do happen. We ran 400’ of new water line with three hose bibs and tapped into the county line without a single leak. OK, that might not be a miracle for some but my plumbing history is not one to brag about. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Thanks for all the ideas everyone offered for jetting under the drive. It was very helpful.

MarkV,

Congrats on a job well done and thanks for the update. That's one of those projects that's more intimidateing thinking about it than actually doing it. Once you get started, it goes pretty easy.
