Home DIY

I spent most of yesterday queuing for the dump with bags of rubble it was boring until it kicked off as somebody drove in from the wrong direction and was nearly dragged from his car*

Next step is to finish the drain 'making good' and then do some re-pointing and replace some lintels.

Besides needing an accro (sp?) is it generally a straightforward thing to do?

*not by me.

You probably want a 'Strongboy' which is a flat plate that you bang into a mortar course to support the wall while you remove the old lintle - it sits on top of an Acrow, if the lintels are short and the wall above doesn't have a high load through it you can just whip out the old one and put in the new. You need minimum 100mm supported either end ideally on concrete pads or engineering brick.
