pipe

Hi, I'm slowly renovating an old cottage in the UK and want to switch the lounge into kitchen, and vice versa. I want to place the sink, and a dishwasher next to it, as shown on the image attached. My problem is getting the waste water away over a long distance with inconvenient doors in the...
