Evening.
I have something on my mind regards to an rsj we have had installed. Its been in for a couple months while we waited to get a wall knocked through. This weekend we got round to knocking the wall through and we have since found the cavity wall to be at two different widths that is holding up a 4 meter rsj.
Its a bit hard to explain so i have attached a picture. The wall was also filled with mortar that i have had to drill out and clean the cavity.
So from what i can tell, the existing cavity gets wider from where they stepped the brick out, but should they not of just continued it up in a straight line, maybe even brick bonded it at the reveal to close and lock the two skins together?
Maybe i am being picky ad it looks untidy. The overhang is 35/40mm
It just doesnt look right.
