Re: Removing a support post in the basement?

Text of the message: |
Rico's suggestion to get an engineer is a good one. But I'll give you some more advice, that's worth what you're paying for it: Get more detail in your sketch - what does the upstairs wall look like? Doors/openings? framed with wood 2x4's 16", or something else? show a cross-section the other way - describe the joists that run across the beam - size, spacing, spans... take a lot of photos. Then show it to a pro. A 12' span is do-able, perhaps even without professional advice. Based on the limited data you've offered, I'd consider bolting a couple 12' x 11" x 1/2" steel plates to the beam, one on either side. Do some calculations to estimate the loads, and evaluate whether the remaining block and post can handle the increased load (maybe a 50% increase on each - my guess, assuming its a well-built home, is that you'll be fine). Good luck, and be careful! Sal's Dad "Verizon User" <test@this.com> wrote in message |
