Bannockburn - Steel Beam for New Kitchen
The owner's dream was for an elegant, prairie style kitchen. A bearing wall required removal to accomplish this plan.
First, we shored up the second floor wall and roof.
Electrical, plumbing, drywall and framing were removed from the existing bearing wall. A hole was then cut in the floor for the new steel post.
The new steel was delivered into the home. The bearing wall was then removed.
We welded a bracket to the side of the existing steel column. The new steel beam was installed on the welded bracket. A new steel column was installed at the opposite of beam, which extended through floor and welded to the steel beam in the crawl space.
We framed and installed paneling around the new beam and two posts.
