Who doesn't need a 10 foot drill bit?

Congratulations to my father-in-law Burt for being named in the top one hundred of StartUpNation.com's Home Based 100!!! This competition was sponsored by Microsoft, Dell Computers, and Southwest Airlines and yesterday the competition was on the front page of http://www.msn.com/

The first time I visited Dalton, GA was also the first time I happened to hear about the 10 foot drill bit. It was 2001 and Burt had started a project to network all of the computers in their house. It was then that I began wondering if Kyle and I were compatable since it is now 2007 and my parents still do not have internet access at their house. But when Burt wants to do something, he figures out a way, and thus the 10 foot drill bit was born. He starts with a 3" section with a spade on the end. Once the first hole is complete, he adds on the next section, repeats the process, and then adds on the third section. Thus you can drill through the walls from the attic to the basement! I got to see his whole operation while I was back in the States this September and I was really impressed. Trust me, if you want something done well then Burt is the man. (Also, he doesn't normally wear the do-rag, that is just for the welding cap :)
