Hi,
A survey has found a rubble-filled stone wall in our terrace needs strapping to the side walls and floor of the structure. The detail the engineer has recommended involves cutting out a big chunk of the inner leaf, drilling and gluing standard ties into the outer leaf, casting a 300mm cube block of concrete in the wall with the ties cast in, then in turn strapping the new concrete blocks back to the side walls and floor. Sounds simple enough, as long as they're not all done at once and the house falls down. Anyone done this, got any photos or advice?
Thanks in advance
