After the window sill and column were finished, the transverse support beam was next. I didn't know exactly how I would go about it, so I just started demolishing it and would see how it would go. Casting a classic concrete beam was not really an option, as I did not have enough thickness available to have the necessary load-bearing capacity. I called an expert for advice, who advised me to embed two steel C-beams in concrete. I welded one of them directly to the rails in the ceiling, and the other to the spacers. The purpose of these welds is not load-bearing, but only to hold the beams still during concreting. The finished product looks great and will only require minor leveling with mortar, with the exception of the brickwork of course.
