Gate cable duct

 In feb 2013 I pulled in a dodgy data cable to the gates with the power cable.

Lost a core in March for the gate open. No spare cores, so swapped it for the door bell.

Pulled in a new pure copper today. Existing pull was very stiff and gave up at 20m. Turns out the duct had quite a lot of water in the horizontal portion. Sucked it out with the hoover. Then tried to pull a plastic bag down. Only went ~1m. There is a joint, so maybe that killed the suction.

Tried again with more lubricant and it went in quite easily until the last 5cm when the pull snapped!
