Sometimes when you’re building a room edition you have to reroute very drain lines out in the yard. In this case, with the plastic PVC pipe that’s leading from the gutters and down buds. Now I need to cut up I don’t want to have to dig a gigantic hole in order to get a reciprocating saw in there or ax that I don’t want to cut the pipe. So I’m going to cut it using just the piece of nylon string but it is a loop of string under the pipe that I wrap two wooden handles around it because the string could cut your hand. Then just using a sawing motion you cut right through the pipe just keep going back and forth and little by little as you can see it, it just works right this up right through the pipe. Were almost there keep a tight tension but don’t pull too hard or the string will break, here we go right there look at that nice clean cut.
