I'm going to be removing a window and replacing it with a door on a brick house. What is the best way to remove the brick below the window? Can I knock out every other full brick on each side and then mortar in half bricks or would it be better to cut the full brick with a masonry blade in a circular saw? The trouble with the later method is that the saw won't cut all the way through the width of the bricks. If I cut most of the way through, then will it break off clean if I just break the rest off with a hammer?
