    Living in a caravan on driveway

    I'm not bothered about the caravan being there. What I'm notnhappy about is some random person moving into it and living there.

    What's the best way to set this flooring out? I'm about to lay some Polyflor LVT 9x3 parquet. I'm having a border. When setting out, would it be best to run the flooring parallel to longest wall? It runs down hallway, into kitchen, then turns 90 degrees into kitchen. I'm thinking parallel to...

    Best way to connect these 3 pipes

    I don't think that will work. If I drop the 110 down far enough on the left the accommodate the 32 mm pipe, there won't be any fall along its length to the right hand stack. I might have to tee the 40 and 32 together and run a length of 40 over to the main stack. Not sure the 110 looks the...
