I am going to convert my garage to a bedroom. This means I will need to remove the garage door, block the opening to half way and have a new window fitted.
I have been told that I should dig a shallow foundation and then fix a couple of lintels into the ground, then build the blocks off these.
Has anyone done this before? The garage door opening is 2000 wide. Can I buy a lintel that is exactly 2000 wide?
Many thanks.
