[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7477679, member: 4505"] I don't know the answer but at my last house in the wilds of Upper Banffshire, I wanted to put in picture windows. The old mason left the local ministers son to widen the windows and went off on another job. The boy, early 20s, took out the full 10 foot width without jacking up at all! Admittedly there wasn't much wall above the window opening (18"?), but there was a slate roof. The mason was rightly shocked when he saw what the boy had done but did mutter how tough that old mortar was and it was probably a good job the minister was his father. House was probably built 1850s, random rubble. I burnt the clutch out on my car hauling back the lintels for the windows in a borrowed cattle trailer! Exciting times. [/QUOTE]
