To prevent the brick from falling when you install your 4-foot window and header, you'll need to provide some type of temporary bracing. This can be complex, delicate work that requires an experienced professional. If you're not careful, you could cause significant structural failure or you may compromise the waterproofing integrity of your home. To give you an idea of the process, see this website that describes the renovation process of a brick villa which required new windows. Combinations of shims, lintel supports and other techniques are used to support the structure while new windows are being installed. Go to: http://www.popevilla.org/facade/may24-28_index.html
