Hello.
Im just about to buy my padstones for removing the load bearing wall with an RSJ.
My SE has speced 215mm deep Padstones (450x102x215)
The problem I have is if I fitted this size padstone I will need to shim up / pack the padstone up around 80mm for the RSJ to rest on top of it.
This doesn't feel right.
Atm Id be removing 3 courses of brick to get the padstone in.
Is this normal or does a different size padstone need to be used?
