So we're making a hole in a brick wall now. Basically we've got a lintel in there. We're trying to make an excess panel to get
under the house so we can under to check on all service and things like that. The tools we're going to need for doing this
- an angle grinder with a diamond blade in it, a hammer drill with a masonry bit, a spirit
level, mash hammer and a brick bolster, I've got a marker for marking my lines and my personal
protective equipment as well. So the first thing we've got to do is we're
going to identify what bricks we're going to take out and mark my lines down so I can
cut them. So I've marked that where I'm going to cut
my hole. Because this is only a small hole in here,
we don't have to worry about size of the lintel or anything like that. If you're going to do it yourself, get in
touch with a structural engineer just to make sure you are getting the right size lintel
for the right size hole you're making. So the next step for this now is we're going
to get an angle grinder and cut straight down those lines I've just plumbed in there. Right, now, I've got the bricks cut. The next step is to get more drill. We'll drill some holes in the mortar just
to make some of the bricks easy to knock out. With a 10 millimeter masonry bit in this,
this is going to give me a nice, big hole for the mortar. So now I've put a few holes in there, so I'm
just going to use the mash hammer and the brick bolster just
to know the bricks out. Okay, I've knocked all the bricks out now
so that access hole is finished. Now we just got to get rid of all the bricks,
clean out the rubble and we're done.
