Stone House Renovation - Part 2: Opening a window

We are going to open three windows in the existing western wall. Here is a detailed video documenting the opening of the first window.
Also take a look at Needle Beams, a safer option when opening larger windows: • Demolitions and proppi...
Working with heavy stones, and opening a window is dangerous. Do not try this at home. Ask a professional to do it.

    Oh my. Definitely not trying this at home! So much experience and knowledge involved in this risk assessment. It is wonderful to watch. The Jenga outtakes were hilarious and clever. Such great content.

    We stonecarvers usually have the handle on the angle grinder put on the 'wrong' side, and the cap too, so that the dust blows away from the machine and the operator. At first it'll take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's just much better than being in the full blast all the time, plus the machine lasts longer

    Please look up ‘needle beams’ for a much safer way of doing this sort of work. They shore up the upper part of the building/wall allowing work on the lower part without risk of collapse.

    I’m guessing wild fires. Puts out burning embers if they blow into the windows. And reduces heat from the fire front. They will probably be installing them in the roof ridge line too to stop embers from blowing under the tiles. Common where I am in Australia for fire protection.
