Mowed/cut my telephone DSL line

:mad: :confused: :D

10 MAY 2009

Was careless after some contractor siding work on my house. Was mowing a week ago and cut my telephone DSL wire/cable.

It was a Saturday. I did not want to call ATT. I have a phone tech guy to call but it would be two days.

I tried twisting 8 wires together, 4 colored and 4 white.

It worked! It looks like a bird cage without any of the 8 connected wires touching each other. No tape.

I has worked fine. Repair bud will come out May 11 or 12.

Gawd! That's like severing an artery or losing a limb!!! :eek: Glad the reattachment is working for now, can you wiggle your fingers yet? :confused:

I assume the lines were on the ground because of the siding work? Otherwise, it's not buried deep enough! ;)
