bale needles

[Mikal Jakubal <mjakubal@asis.com>]

Hi y'all,
Went to an earth plaster work party last weekend and learned a couple tips
that were too cool not to share. I'll put them in two posts so they can be
more easily found in an archive search. 

For running conduit, cable or similar materials through bale walls: take a
two-and-a-half foot piece of conduit and smash one end flat. Clip off or
grind the corners of the flattened end so it is somewhat pointed, and pound
it through the bale wall. Now anything can be inserted into the hollow
conduit. Have your helper on the other side of the wall pull the conduit
through, and the wire, cable or whatever comes through with it.
