Hello!
I have a solid/half lite door in my laundry with an awning window. Our house is double brick. Is it structurally possible to somehow remove these, cut out the brickwork below the awning window and replace with a glass sliding door?
Figured I'd ask for general advice here before getting the professionals out for quotes and ideas. I've built homes before but never renovated so it's all beyond me! Cheers.
