----.(1.5 or 2")
A job at Windsor airport in the fall of 1985 involved some 10,000 feet
of 2, 4" ducts. The 20' lengths were laid out along the route prior to
installation. After the ducts were all buried, came time to install
string, then cable. To install the string (poly twine, actually), it
was tied to a sponge which was then sucked through with a shop vac.
Since the duct lengths had lain in the grass for several days, field
mice had taken up residence, and when the sponge was vacuumed through,
they ended up in the tank. The operator of the vacuum soon discovered
that his machine was much lighter to carry if he emptied the mice out
daily.
