Hi, I was wondering what the potential problems are and really how to achieve the following.
I wish to remove to front of the chimney breast wall up to 8ft from the ground, I realise I will have to leave the side walls to support, and use a lintel? to support also, but I want to ultimately achieve extra space and put a cooker in the hole, and make feature of this.
Is there anything that is'nt obvious to acheiving this? I'm a medioka DIY'er and demolition is one of my favourates! However, in previous projects in my home, due to my little experience I have come across problems that were not present in planning.
Thanks in advance. Gary
