Brick Post

[yartin]

Hi
My front brick wall and pillar as in first pic 1. I want to make it like pic 2. basically extend wall on the right by 40cm and build a brick post and remove pillar and part brick wall on the left.

Can I keep the pillar on the let and somehow remove it and move it to where I want it? And how?

What min depth for pillar foundation?

Thanks

Yes, no problem at all. You just need to put a screw-in eye at the bottom of each face, attach a very strong cable to it then hire a cargo helicopter, which will lift it up vertically into the air then put it where you need it, after you've got the foundation ready. You'll need local council approval, possibly plus the Civil Aviation Authority and possibly the RAF.

Alternatively, just build a pillar in the new position then knock it down. This is very likely to be the easier option.

Yes, just cut it out and push is over to where you want!

I guess 400x400 and 300 deep will do?
