Hey everyone,
I've just taken out the hearth in one of my first floor bedrooms and discovered two concrete slabs built into the wall. They're really solid & sturdy, but I'm not sure how far they are built into the wall. I was wondering if I could run my noggins directly off of them instead of removing them? I would fit joist hangers if I do remove. I share this wall with my neighbour who also has their fireplace and hearth intact.
Thanks!
