I picked up a soft foam rubber ball about the size of a softball at a toy store and then poked a hole through it and fed line in it with a 5" nail. Then I tied the line to the cable and threw it from the top of the root of one building to the other. It worked so well that I kept the ball with the line in it our raised floor computer room. Whenever I needed to run a cable under the floor I'd just lift up the floor tiles where I wanted to cable to go from and to, look under the floor to see where the other end was supposed to go, and then toss the ball under the raised tile floor, find the line at the other end and pull the cable through. -- John Fereira jaf30_at_cornell.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jun 02 1999 - 12:08:41 PDT
