first, I realised the back window is 101" long (8 ft 5 ins) supported by a concrete lintel c. 1951 vintage
second, if I knock the cement render off my house, it will leave next door's render open to the elements

couple more things to worry about

one thing I learnt today: once rendered, always rendered
I saw a house where the render had been removed but not re-rendered
it looked *dreadful*; bits of old render stuck to it, mortar in a parlous state

I'll go with that. I recently had this place re-rendered, and the underlying stuff, though sound and originally of good quality facing bricks, was something you *really* would not want on view. A pity really, as the windows had really nice arches over them before someone put flat topped windows and lintels in, carving the arches to let them do it.
Eh?
