Pass the timber through this hole and use the acros to support the weight(if any), either side then do the same on the other side where the door way has been marked out. Then below the support knock the first row of brick outs bearing in mind you want a ledge either side of the top of the door frame for the lintel to sit on. Once the lintel is in place the rest of the brickwork can be cut either side with a chaser for ease of pushing the existing brickwork out rather than bashing away with a lump hammer. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
