After looking at my fireplace a while back and begining to open it up a bit, I found when taking more plaster away that the single engineering type bricks at each side, have every other brick mounted into the wall behind, so knowing this, does that mean the little arch thats there should support anything above if I were to remove the concrete cast lintel and everything below?
Would it be reasonable to take a large disk angle grinder and cust a slot in directly under the arch and hammer in a metal L lintel like this one to be sure?
