Then using an immense Bosch hammer drill with a 2" coring bit (it's good to have friends in the business) drill the hole straight down where you want the pump, once you're through glue the 90 degree end on the PVC and push it through the "tunnel" aligning it with the newly cut hole. Once there, slather some glue on the upright PVC and push it into the 90 and twist, done. I will admit I pined awhile prior but that part of the project proved to be anticlimactic.
