even if they were...they wouldnt be underneath the foundation of the house

btw, anybody know where to buy a 10 foot drill bit extension ? � The biggest

electrician drill bits have extensions available, local home depot
sells them. at least 3 feet have seen 6 feet and longer. can also try
a electrical ssupply house

you want to avoid hitting a sewer line.

if i were you i would just spend the bucks and have the pros install
the system for 800 bucks. around here its generally a few thousand.

I have a water problem here, installing interior french drain, part of
thats already in under our new furnace.

our french drain will drain to daylight near the curb, which will
hopefully fix our radon problem too. never had it teasted but all
narby homes have it.
