We removed two load bearing walls and installed steel support beams. We used W10x19 steel I-beams to span the 14'-6" in the living room and 10' in the kitchen. http://vincentabellcontracting.com

  • nice video. Is there a way to hide the beam so the ceiling is all one height? Other wise good job.

  • @samhicks29 sometimes there is a way to hide the beam but in this case it wasn't possible. It is best to have an engineer figure out the load calculations for each specific job and determine the best way to handle it.  Sometimes if the calculations allow it, you can put in a wood beam and use joist hangers to support the joists.
