Hi
Im just about to start bricking up a doorway which will be a support for an RSJ after I knock some of the existing wall through to form an arch. I have been told by the structural enginner that I need to fully bond the new brickwork with the old by toothing it in. Can anybody give me some advice on how I go about doing this, do I remove every second course and lay the new brick into the gap?
Also whats the best way to make sure I get a straight line, should I use a plumb line or not bother due to the gap being so small?
Also what tool should I use to cut the bricks, I was planning on hiring an electric cutter of some kind.
Thanks!
Richard
