I`m in the middle of renovation and new thing come out.
I have removed the old architrave of my upstair bathroom and small bedroom to find out that the door opening is very low and also the lintel is not properly installed and that was the reason of a visible crack on the wall. Also the door opening is close to the wall not allowing any architrave. I have attached photos for refreence.
My dilemma is. is it worth to start playing around this 70mm blockwork to move the structure opening and install new lintel or just demolish and install a new strong wood stud wall with maybe some extra noggin or plywood?
Thanks
