    Laminate flooring installation advice

    I'm just not too keen on the idea of having a door threshold there. I've seen installations where the laminate just flows through without a seam joint. Ofcourse under the door frame I will leave a little gap allowing for expansion and contraction.

    Help with C-tec CFP702-2 fire alarm system.

    Yes seems like no sounders were ever installed as it's a small shop and I think batteries were originally probably also not installed hence why the wires are going down the bottom by the battery area.
