Hi, i'm new to this forum but will no doubt be posting here more since we've just purchased our first house.
we've just stripped back the plaster in our extension and found a timber lintel in place where the old dining room window used to be, the idea was to change this for an rsj.
Today i have been to measure for mentioned rsj and i've noticed the pillar/brick on the right side (viewed out) is all damaged and loose, not strong enough for an rsj & load!

does anyone have any ideas on what to do to be able to support a new lintel, thanks in advance for any replies!
Regards ,Marc
