Can someone take a look at this pic and maybe give me some pointers, i'm pretty handy and most jobs but think this may be one for a builder?
Basically doing whats rapidly turned into full on renovation the more we dig, and have just discovered the wooden lintel (edged in red) sits 3 1/2 inches in on the left side of the opening, the right hand side sits about 4 inches in but the later stack of bricks (put in when the windows were replaced at a guess - indicated yellow line) are not tied into the gable end wall or the external wall. Am i being over-concerned or is this not good practice?
Thanks
