Hello, Currently trying to remove 30 year old hardwood flooring that is glued to the concrete slab, but finding it to be a pain in :eek: to get up. Got a couple pieces with prybar and hammer, then rented a big demolition hammer with a 6 inch scrapper blade (got up about 200 sq. foot before my...

Neal, this is what I figured, doing some reading on the interwebs here I could find where a 16 foot span really required something different. The wife is fine with there being two poles there still, really just don't like the wall area with the rails as it makes the living room closed off and...

I am remodeling the living room, getting rid of that early 80's oak paneling and the rails above the half wall. Started taking down the paneling tonight to see what the load bearing header looked like, not knowing if it would be one long solid header or if it would be 3 separate ones. As you...

Ok, so here's a couple more pics, I want to think this is load bearing, but it doesn't have anything on the other side of one wall. The first pic below shows where this header would be if I went into the room on the right side of the hall pic above. The second pic is the other side, left of...

In case this helps, the red lines are the area where this hallway runs in our house, and the green arrow would be about where this door way is.

Hello, I'm in the process of getting rid of the wood trim on the lower half of our hallway, and I'm at a point where I reached a door jam that is in an odd place in the hall. Wife doesn't really want a door here, would prefer the hallway to continue with out the step in for the door jam/door...
