 First the garage door was removed<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Then the surrounding timber<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Next a layer of rubber was installed as some additional damp proof protection.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 One lintel in place<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Two lintels in place, these are reinforced concrete 6″x9″ and 2.4m long<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Another layer of rubber for damp proofing<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
