Hi all, I am about to cut a single brick wall opening, in a garage to take a side door/frame. I am trying to find what clearance over the frame width to make the opening. The frame is very parallel +- 0.5 mm, my thoughts are maybe 5 mm each side 10 mm total. Any experienced thoughts welcomed. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes agreed, it goes back many years to when I was an apprentice toolmaker, a chap shouted out, "that will do for me, as you can't get better than cock on" young and impressionable.

Hi fellow hard working builders, DIYers, and artisans. Things I have tackled over the years, mostly in my family homes but some paid. All plumbing and sometime back gas boiler install, 1st and 2nd fix wood, cabinetry, kitchens/bathrooms, installs and renovation, brick inglenook fireplace, all electrical, block paving, I now realise my aversion of tradesmen (the trades are as goods as 100% men) is quite profound. Next job personal door in side of garage single brick wall, which I am not sure about support pillars, so will have a question soon, when I formulate it so it makes sense. Regards Steve S
