Hi all.
I am planning an extension on a slab and getting quotes from a carpenter and also for prefabbed frames and trusses.
The extension will be weatherboard and the current house is brick veneer extending straight off the back and the external brick veneer walls will now be internal walls.
The carpenter has said that the existing brickwork will need to be cut in order for the new frame to be attached to the old one.
I don't understand quite what he means here, I have asked for further clarification but am still not clear on why the new frame can't be attached to the existing external brickwork.
Thanks in advance.
John.
