I'm getting an outdoor metal deck put in my backyard. Base cost includes only black steel and painted with sherwin williams epoxy paint, if I want everything to be sent to be galvanized, it will cost an extra 5k.
Any thoughts?
I removed drywall from the rear wall of my 1890s brick house. Above the windows is an original brick arch acting as the header/lintel above the window opening.
The mortar is in pretty bad shape and I dont think it's providing much support anymore given the step cracking on the exterior.
What's the proper retrofit/repair? A few contractors said to install steel c channel lintels, but i dont see how that's any better than a steel angle mortared into the brick wall then built up until it's touching the bottom side of the arch
Any thoughts / advice?
