RE: Almost OT...

Hi Brian

This can be done. Fujitsu and BT tunnelled a good 20ft using such a mole
to get fibre into one of our buildings. They did this so they did not
have to dig up our car park.

If and where you can hire one I do not know! But its likely to be
expensive!

Many thanks

Rob

Burrowing holes..........

I have been wracking my little brain on a good way to get a number of
cat5e runs down my garden to my new workshop.

A friend suggested boring a hole under my patio which I just laughed
away...like you do....but then tonight I got to think about it a bit
more and it does not seem so bad....

The reason for the tunnel is a gate that needs to be crossed by the
cables, I can not go over the gate but could go under the ground for
about 2 or 3 metres the up and into a pipe along the fence...

So the question....has anyone ever done this before with some sort of
tunnelling machine? no not a JCB! just a small mole sort of size that I
could place a 20mm tube through?

Thanks all,

B.
