Me and my love ...and my girlfriend at the edge...

me on an off day:

BOOOBIES!!!!!

Hello no. There is very very little strength in a board that's turned sideways. That bottom board is the Seal plate. A seal plate is usually Pined or bolted to the foundation and the Joists are nailed to the seal plate. There needs to be some sort of Header installed since it is definitely load bearing. And a Reinforced Concrete Lintel will not be enough to hold that kind of load. 3 2x10s glued and screwed or glued and nailed together and 6" to 8" (or more if you want) wider than the opening. Use 3 2x10s minimal. Use 3x12s if you have room to get them in. That's ALOT of weight up there. An average sized fireplace and chimney can easily weigh 5 ton+ and that's just for the Brick work. Here this will help you Alot. Skip down to where it says Step 1. It's a bit of work but it will save your fireplace and chimney from crashing through the floor. Looks like you have some water staining on the joists. I would call someone in and have them inspect the brickwork after you jack up the floor and install the header. Brickwork can be resealed if they are not to bad. https://www.oneprojectcloser.com/how-to-replace-a-load-bearing-door-header/ I was a licensed and insured contractor before I got hurt. Me and my 5 man crew did the Framing, roofing, plumbing, electric and kitchen installs. My boss and his small 3 man group were the Masons. They did the foundations and concrete and stone work and driveways and sidewalks. Then we had a 6 man Finishing crew that did all of the pretty stuff like insulation, drywall, flooring, paint, trim and siding. We contracted out the HVAC stuff for insurance purposes.

I was wondering what the use is as well. I'm wondering if the courses of block and brick under those bearing points have cells grouted solid or not... It also looks like there is some minor water damage in that area as well. Do you plan on turning that into a closet or something useful? What is the abandoned joist hanger for? Why does it look like the first joist to the right of the opening isn't attached to the floor beam (no hanger, can't see any toenailed framing nails)? Looking at this, the 2x4 isn't doing anything. It literally isn't supporting the load of the floor above. The floor beam spanning that opening is doing all the work. You can cut that out and it won't affect anything. HOWEVER, based on the fact that it's bowing, there may be more of an issue than that sill plate. The floor beam spanning that opening is being overloaded and thus probably also bowing. There are a few options you can do. OPTION #1 - if you don't care about losing some of that space, or having access to the full 40" opening, you can get an adjustable steel column to and place it mid-span, to shore up and straighten the bow in the 2x4 sill. Then, add another 2x6 (or whatever the floor joist structure is) to span the opening, strengthening that area. Make sure you have a minimum of 6" of bearing on each end of that opening. If it doesn't bother you, leave the column in there. On the right side, take a 6x4 member, cut to the height of that brick wall, and place it at the right end, under the sill plate to allow for 5.25"(+/-) more of bearing at that end. Make sure the 6x4 is anchored to the wall, the floor and the sill, using steel straps. OPTION #2 (better option) - Purchase two 4x6 to use for columns at each end of the opening. Build a header to span over the two columns using (2) 2x8. Attach the columns to the wall and floor and the header. (See attached sketch) With either option, I would still attach another floor beam over that opening with a minimum 6" bearing each end. As for bearing at an opening, typically, for a 40" opening, you need a minimum 6" bearing on each end of the opening . Just FYI, I work in the structural engineering field. Currently employed in a full architecture/engineering firm in the structural engineering department.

I do use the downloader and the feature of backing up your profile is a great useful tool.

And you posted a picture of Icy's boy friend why????

The Licensed Guided Double Decker Tour is absolutely epic. We were on the top floor which has no roof. Just make 100% sure that it is not going to rain and bring plenty of Sun Block. Save up a few bucks and do it. It will be the most memorable thing you do for a long time. http://www.gettysburgbattlefieldtours.com/gettysburg-tours/gettysburg-tours/licensed-guided-double-decker-tour/ Last time I did the tour I was 14 years old and went with the whole family including my Grandpa and Grandma. I still remember most of that trip like it was yesterday and that was 32 years ago. It takes 3-4 days to see everything so plan on staying for the week. You will not regret it. There are wooded camp grounds all over the place about 5 miles south of Gettysburg. Perfect for a motor home or travel trailer or even a large tent. If I go again I'll be camping out in a tent and I'll be bringing my scooter. A bit to much to walk everywhere and traffic can be ridicules especially around the 4th of July up untill Oktoberfest. lol THIS might be fun if ya have a place to pass out.

after waiting for nearly 2 months, my new Tacoma arrived this past Saturday. First vehicle that I ever ordered. Has everything that I wanted in it, no more, no less...including the color and interior seat trim

I often tell new players about it to avoid downloading the maps one by one.

Took out the parachutes cause I know someone will bitch about getting killed right before they hit the ground.

FU DOGS!!!!!!!! ,,!,,

Kill the campers there camping how hard is it to kill something not moving

Erectus Maximus!.. Maximus!!!

Teamspeak is now operational again

Teamspeak is now operational again

Let's have one. Got a channel for old, incontinent people; let's have a channel where we can talk as much shit as we want, while adhering to the no personal attacks, not racism rules.

hahahaha pretty big and blue.

you guys can use my teamspeak as a temp till the main or backup comes back 76.169.206.194:9987 or click to connect ts3server://76.169.206.194?port=9987

I did not vote...I repeat....I did not vote.....

oh yeah and F everyone who has replied so far!...

TS channel without any limitation on language. Of course same rules as we have in XI game server. No racial and personal attacks. Would love to see something like that...

Come on show us some Leg

So is all the money I spend in taxes helping illegals and drug runners, ..Nothing is perfect, but why do nothing....?

Na.. Not really. you have to get really up close and person with them, @Gatorgirll More like wrestle them down.. they are kind of squirmy and run really fast...

It looks like a 2x6 on top of a 2x4 , and should be enough , I see what your talking about , but the 2x6 goes straight across .As long as bricks that support it are fine.

FU!

This was not for no reason. I had several reports of your playing being suspicious and therefore spectated you. It became quite obvious that you were: a ) Tracking players occasionally through walls, and b ) Knew exactly where people were hiding behind objects, and running round to shoot them when you had no possible way of knowing they were there. On top of this you were consistently spawncamping round after round - adding to the case against you.

I wanted to go, but couldn't find the address. Get it?

Little Round Top. Colonel Chamberlain, Captain Spear, Captain Morrill. Strong Vincent; Colonel Patrick O'rorke. Many people didn't get the credit they deserved. A lot of shit went down leading up to and during that crucial bayonet charge of a critical battle of Gettysburg. Chamberlain himself was gonna have his face blown off, but the pistol misfired. The left flank of the 20th's charge was almost repelled, but for a surprise volley in the ass of the Confederates by Captain Morrill's Company B; Color Sergeant Tozier standing firm as a rallying point while under heavy fire; The presence of the 2nd Maine's seasoned mutineers dispersed among the 20th's ranks; Stoughton's sharpshooters; You could read for days on that charge, Little Round Top, Gettysburg and the events, decisions leading up to & influencing them.
