Hi,
I'm carrying out some renovations but some of this involves structural aspects that I need somebody to run the calculations for, or to actually do. I'm handy enough to cut and nail bits of wood together but I'm not a structural engineer.
Project #1 - I have a 12 foot ceiling in a three car garage and I want to add a 12' x 12' platform, around 7' above the floor to provide storage space with an open staircase to access the platform. How can I do this? Can I simply screw ledgers into the studs in the three existing walls and use joist hangers? If so, what lumber size do I use? If I'm using lag bolts to get the ledgers into the studs what size do I need? For this project, I'd just like to know the material list and if my idea is reasonable.
Project #2 - I want to remove a load-bearing wall in the basement. There is an interior wall above it and an exterior wall above that. I guess it will require a steel beam and would like somebody to do this job.
Project #3 - I have a staircase leading to the basement that makes three 90 degree turns. I'd like to take out the last turn and then incorporate the space under the staircase into the adjacent laundry room. I think I can just make 80" of headroom on the staircase but the wall may be load-bearing. There's also a structural support that's propping up the staircase that is in the middle of the wall between the laundry room and staircase. I'd like some advice on this. Is there a way of restructuring the load to remove the stud and give me back some space.
Project #4 - I have a wall in the basement that appears to be non load-bearing. Would like to confirm before removal.
Project #5 - I have a load-bearing wall in the kitchen with an interior wall above and need to open up a 3' hole, next to a doorway. The wall is made of 2x6 and would like to replace with a header made of 3 x 2x12, 2 x " plywood, supported on 4 x 2x6 studs. Can I do this? Is it acceptable to do this right next to a doorway?
Happy to pay for quality advice and likely to engage two contractors to make sure the advice is correct. Just want to make sure my house isn't going to fall down.
