I am building a warehouse/ office building. The windows chosen for the project do not match the brick coursing. Instead of occurring at a bed joint, the lintel lines up with the center of the brick. I cannot adjust the mortar joints enough to make up this difference. Should I cut the brick in half and install a lintel? Do you have any other recommendations? More
