I have a project that I'm working on. Need to take out a brick wall to place a I-beam for support of second floor of house. How would you support the brick so it would not come down and also give yourself room to get the I-beam into place. I have to install the I-beam from the outside. The over size of the opening is 20 feet wide by 8 feet tall. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks
