    Another room next to kitchen
    How do I know and whom do I get to break down a room next to my kitchen so I can extend the kitchen into a gallary -kitchen? How do I know if this wall - needs a supporting beam?
    I have a lot of door ways that I would like to make square because at present they are all oval. Is this something a bricklayer can easliy do? Or Can one DIY?

    Thank you

    Garden beames,- around the garden.
    Would it be OK, if I left the beames around the garden and built a limestone wall same size as the beames are at present.
    Would this create a problem done the track?

    An independent contractor should know if it's a load bearing wall, just make sure to check out his credentials before hiring him. Good Luck.
