Yeah, the first pipe went in in about 30 seconds, jsut slipped through. The second pipe had no where to to maneuver now that the first pipe gave it no wiggle room.  I'd push from one end, crawl to the other to look with the flashlight and say to myself, "OK, just move it down now" then go back to the pipe and notice it could  no longer move that way without twisting, which it wold not do. Yup, a skinny armed guy on the other end could probably have reached in and grabbed it to guide it.
