AUTHOR Topic: Support Beam paul m Posted 7/28/2006 at 2:56:55 PM I Want To Take A Wall Out In My Living Room To Make It Bigger But There Is A Support Beam There So How Would I Go About Getting It Done     RESPONSES AUTHOR Title: Support Beam KEN H Unique Property Services Posted 8/9/2006 at 1:01:24 AM hello, most of the time really no big deal, u might need some design plans and install longer solid beam. what is your span size? AUTHOR Title: Structural Specialist Jeffrey R Posted 8/27/2006 at 12:16:46 PM A careful inspection of mechanical and electrical services passing through the wall . Inspection of structural support under the wall ( floor joists,beams and jack posts) The load has to be properly distibuted , I've had to add footings and posts . Could be a nightmare if not properly done. AUTHOR Title: AJ M Posted 10/17/2007 at 3:42:52 AM Does the wall actually support the beam or is the beam posted in the exterior walls?
