"Never was anything great achieved without danger". Niccolo Machiavelli


This alarming picture shows the gable end doorway from the kitchen into the rest of the house. Three feet of granite with two stories above it. The wood was partly rotten and 


the brick that supported at one end it was just resting on a couple of loose slates. The main overhanging stone was propped while the wall was rebuilt to support structural concrete lintels.


The gap between the lintel and the loose stones above was filled with supporting blockwork leaving conduit for electric cables during first fix.
