    Hallway Carpet in two pieces (joined)

    Have ordered carpet that comes on a roll 4m wide. Ordered a 5m length which will be cut into two pieces (2m2 and 2m8). The two pieces are to be joined so the two 4m widths give 8m width in total. This 'width' will then actually be the 'length' of the hallway. This means, I now realise that...
