Hiya, this is my proposed plan.
I'll be putting a 100x65mm lintel in across the horizontal line to give me a height of 1025mm (900mm when hearth is layed) and we would like a width of 900mm.
My worry is that I won't be able to remove the bricks on the inside of the opening, they seem structural. Could anyone confirm from these pictures that I'll be safe to remove the inside to the width above? FYI; the opening is currently 550mm wide, 670mm tall.
(1) Above - (2) Left side - (3) Left side back boiler opening - (4) right side.
(This won't be used again for a real fire, fake (electric) log burner/heater)
