Pretty simple question, really.


I understand that I have to use special electrical cable that can be buried
underground, but how do I get underneath the sidewalk or under the driveway
and such?


If my hunch is correct, it's just brute strength and digging underneath the
sidewalk on both sides. Any special tools to look for?


I "dug" under my sidewalk to run power to the jacuzzi with a garden
hose. Made a lot of mud, but went very quickly.


Or just rent or hire a mole.......
Moles dig nice tunnels and they are just the right size for a length
of 3/4 inch pvc conduit.

look them up onwww.rentamole.com

make hole no larger than absolutely necessary and expect sidewalks and
driveways to crack where they have been undermined.

any way to run the cable without going under sidewalk and driveway?
