MIKE, come to Phoenix,AZ and see how we can drill under the ground and steer around different objects in our path,power,gas,water and fiber optic lines are just an example. We drill under roads,canals,rail roads anything you don't want to dig across,we then pull back whatever type of utility that is needed.
And in case it wasn't a given you will get very dirty,greasy,muddy and sweaty. And don't be afraid come in the summer when its 115 "its not that bad its a dry heat".
