Moonshine Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am feeling a bit chuffed, removing render from the out side of my house I found two very rotted out external wall leaf wooden lintels, age god knows, as below. These needed to be replaced, given I have a bit of time on my hands I decided to DIY it, so got some lintels, cavity trays and a strong boy from jewsons this morning, and gave it a go. Main thing was the house didn't fall down, but I actually got it all done in a day in the sun. Pretty happy with the results, though the brick work is appalling!!! Not sure what the going rate is for lintel replacement, but feels like I have saved a fair chunk of money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Punter Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Nice. It is quite satisfying when you can do the whole job in a day, especially if it is something you have not done before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
