I would like to put an addition to my house. I was wondering how difficult it will be to knock some new doors into a 8" poured concrete wall built in the 50's. I was thinking that I could maybe only go where there are windows now. But I'm not sure if that is even possible. Or maybe it is possible, but a big job. Please help.

Hi,
In reference to cutting doorways out in a concrete foundation, it is possible
it's not a easy job but you need to make accurate cuts you gas powered concrete saw with a diamond blade. always go a little bigger because you can always fill in with some sort of trim. Hope this helps
