And here is the revised basement drawing. The gaps are areas where I didn't trace the line due to objects (like the Softener, Beds, etc.) or interference in the signal (like near the outside wall where the line turns sharply). I also traced some 1 1/2" lines from an old installation. I lost...

Hi Gents, I went to the Cabin as planned on Monday, and United Rentals called to say they had a Fisher TW-82 Line Tracer returned at noon on Tuesday. Even though Fisher's Web Support said I should use a Sonde transmitter ( http://fisherlab.com/industrial/fisher-SONDE-signal-transmitter.htm )...

The pump room is heated slightly in winter to about 4 or 5 degrees Celsius as are the bathrooms. We do check on...
