Open concept? Affordable
Hello, I searched the forum and couldn't see a thread on this so if there is please point me to it. My wife and I bought a bungalow recently , there is a wall separating the hall/kitchen from the front to rear of the home and a wall separating the living/dining rooms about half way from front to rear. Wondering how expensive it would be to have all three walls removed, if it is possible without a supporting post, with flush beams so the whole area has a level ceiling? I hate to bother with the question, do realize that structural engineering will be required but am trying to get an idea of costs so that I can plan the limited renovation budget. Thanks in advance for any input you may have with this. Scott
