Hi,
We have house built with thick stone walls - about 80cm. In the kitchen, there is an archway covered by plasterboard which was the original exterior wall to the house about 100 years ago. We'd like to uncover it as a feature an also to let ore light though.
I've removed the plasterboard and surrounding plaster and behind there is all red brick sides and an archway in good condition going right across. I've removed a bit of the stone work where it was bricked up. I'm fairly sure it is well supported - most of it aprt from 20cm didn't have any stones under it anyway and it is the original back of the house - think it may have been a bakery or something!
What do you reckon - am i good to remove the rest of the stone that has bricked up the arch?
Cheers, Mike
