is to call someone like us. We would demolition 2 to 3 feet of garage and
replace lentil with stronger back. A stronger piece of iron the is 4
inches on
one side and the other side 5 to 6 inches. If the masonry above garage is
attached well with wall ties,there is a possibility that entire gable
will
have to come down. This is not a DIY project. It's best to call a pro.
In our
area it is considered an extensive repair. You can expect to pay 3200 to
7000.
There really is no easy way to do it right. The guys at
www.masoncrew.net are
wonderful and you can trust them to give you a free evaluation if you
send
pictures.


That's what you get for building beams of lentils; you're supposed to
use lumber.

And, yes, I know this is an old post to which I am responding.

Sounds like you know your beans.
