Install mains waste to existing downstairs toilet
An existing downstairs toilet using a Saniflow system has never worked correctly. I want to explore if the floor from the toilet can be dug up, across a hallway, through a kitchen to the mains. We have underfloor heating which I believe is a wet system. Distance from toilet to outside is approximately 5m.

Glass garage doors
Are glass garage doors any good? Are they a durable option?
Brick replacement
A house I'm looking at buying looks like it needs the bricks replacing around the base of the patio door, not sure if it is poor fitting or frost damage, awaiting the results of the building survey. The patio door could probably do with replacing too. Could you take the patio door out and replace a couple of lines of bricks (probably about ten feet across the wall) prior to installing a new door? Would you have to wait for these to cure/mortar to dry prior to fitting a new door?
Subsidence in 1960's home (sale completed only yesterday)
Great video. If you don't mind I have a question, I've just moved into a property built in the 1960's it had a one crack in the outside brickwork on the first floor a wide (>10mm) crack in the interior kitchen wall and on the first day in the property I removed the wallpaper in the bathroom (directly above the kitchen) and found another wide (>10mm) crack. It seems to fit the criteria of subsidence, would the surveyor working on behalf of the mortgage advisor have missed this? Who would be liable for this if it is subsidence since I've only had the property 1 day? What steps should I take next?
