As is often the case, the best laid plans can go wrong. A week ago I booked to hire a Stone Cutter over this last weekend, but was informed by Loxam that there was not one available. So, my good neighbour agreed to loan me his Sthil unit Today, I planned to start work, but despite my feeble attempts I could not get it started and revert to plan C and use a masonry blade on my have rotary saw.
It took 4 hours of hard work to complete the demolition of 1/2 the wall opening, but proved successful and hopefully will be completed tomorrow.
I will then be able to fit a wooden surround to support the roof and create a clean edge, for accurate measurement of the door(s) to be made to fit.
