We moved into a bungalow on a farm lonning, the previous owners had ran this drainage pipe into a culvert to stop water pooling on the lane, unfortunately over time it's been damaged by trucks and cars reversing back out of the lane, I'd like to install something a bit more permanent like a...

Update, when the shower button is pressed you can hear air rushing through the system, on the third or fourth attempt you can hear water bubbling in the shower head a the shower hose moves showing that water is in the system, after three to four attempts however it just goes back to low pressure...

Hi group, can anyone guesstimate how much concrete I will need for this small project ( drive way extension), its for one of my neighbours and they don,t have much money so I really don't want to order too much. We have added hard core to the base and its approx 4 inches deep, appreciate that...
