hi,
The rear elevation of my two storey house has a 6 foot patio door and a 5 feet window separated by 6 feet of brick/block work. (there are two windows on the upper floor)
I would like to replace the 5 foot window with a patio door but am nervous that the removal of the bricks under the window would weaken what would become a central pillar.
Could members please tell me if this work is feasible without altering the structural strength of the rear wall.
thanks
john
