I see lots of rebar sticking out... not to mention that was a double stack of blocks there for a load bearing support!
Quick and easy way to make room for a new garage door...

dammit, thats what i was thinking too [laugh]
I honestly knew a kid in high school who put his Jeep Cherokee right through the window of a Blockbuster. Til this day I don't even think he knows how he did it. Luckily it was early in the day no one had just returned any movies or was checking out at the time.

Aw, extra pics after the initial post. You're holdin' back on us. [roll] I could see the rebar in the first pics though. :P
Isn't that pilaster supposed to have extra rebar going into the wall... [roll] I guess it could just be aesthetic.
Sheer driving pleasure ;D
