Hi,
I also want to support the Wall plate, with no loss of height. It was an outside toilet, with washroom, that has got integrated into the house, and I want to put window/doors in.
I have just spoken to Catnic, and as said, they need bricks above them for integrity.
I have also spoken to steel suppliers, who were encouraging, that an 'L' shaped angle cupping the wall plate should be ok.
This needs to pass the building inspector, is there a way of getting calculations, that would help?
Or any advice please
C
