Our living room is opened up now. The new 12″ bearing beam can be seen at the top of the picture below. We have been planning our home re-modeling for the past couple years. This remodeling breaks down into two major projects. One major project is to built an attached garage with a mud room, pantry, laundry and 1/2 bath connecting it to our house.
