I have a concrete block and stucco house. I would like to install an outside door from my bathroom to the caged pool area. The existing window opening is high enough, but the door has to be installed a foot or so past the edge of the window. What can I use to cut the opening into the concrete block wall that will give me a straight cut? Of course there are tresses resting on the concrete walls. Will widening the opening (35") of the existing window make the blocks on top of the opening break and cave in? This question is very important. Thank you.
