Not sure if that's what it's called.
I have a beam over the garage. 20 feet long
It was extended a while ago be adding a beam under it.
It was sagging, so we put a post in the center of the span.
The post has to go. It's always in the way.
Friend said he has added 3/4 ply to both sides of beams to straighten and strengthen them.
Plan is to nail/glue two layers on both sides of the beam.
Much cheaper than replacing the beam.
Sound like a good idea?????
