and we are knocking into the extension on the left and the old dining room on the right.
Structural engineer 2 yrs ago specified a Catnic steel lintel to support the original pine end (on the left) but both the builder's I'm using think it's overkill and tricky to get such a long/tall lintel into the gap.
The building inspector has ok'd the use of 2 concrete lintels (inner and outer) at 10% of the price and a doddle to get in but I'm still worried about the full knock through tomorrow
