Has anyone had any experience in removing a single house brick from an outer wall?
My current setup has feedline entering the house through a pair of 3/4" holes drilled through a single house brick. My walls are brick veneer- that is a layer of single brick over the timber frame.
Is there any harm in chipping away the mortar/cement and carefully removing a single brick?
Instead of making swiss cheese when I want to expand the number of feedlines- I would rather remove the brick entirely and install a weather proof feedthrough that can accomodate more cables and allow for much easier installation.
Having said that- I would imagine that putting the brick back when I one day sell the house could be fun!
Are there any possible problems with such an idea? Such as weakening the wall etc...
The brick is fairly low down and in the centre of the wall near the mast base.
