No, I'm not joking.. Hurricane season is just around the corner, and I'm nearing completion of my french drain project behind my house. However, I'm at the dreaded stage where I need to "bore" a six inch wide hole thru an eighteen inch thick masonry brick retaining wall that bisects my backyard. Since my entire backyard is elevated and surrounded by masonry retaining walls, it's next to impossible to get any heavy machinery back there (boy, a ditchwitch would have been awesome!) I need to accomplish this approximately three feet below ground level. I've dug plenty of clearance around where I need to penetrate the wall. Can anyone share any similar experiences, or offer any advice and guidance to me? I greatfully and sincerely appreciate any suggestions.
