"Doing the same thing, in the same manner, over and over yet expecting a different outcome"....
I think that's about right??? My neighbor has had a drainage issue for the 25 years I have lived here and last Tuesday he decided, out of the blue that he was going to install a drain line under the driveway so it wouldn't keep flowing over the concrete.
He began with his pressure washer and an 8' extension pole attachment. The driveway he's trying to go under has a slope from the high side to the low side of about a foot so he can't get an absolute straight shot with the extension pressure pole. We are on city water and it's NOT the cheap kind!! His pressure washer shows a consumption of 2.5 gallons per minute so it's not very water stingy. At one point he had a "stream" of water running through the yard about 3' wide and an inch deep for hours on end as he tried to water jet his way to glory.
He worked at this all day (7 to 8 hours) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and began again this morning at 0900 sharp. 6 (six) straight days of blasting water under the driveway with no success!! My only question is how long will he continue to do this and get no where for his efforts?? 7, 8, 9, 10 days?? What's your bet??
