header beam

Post Reply | Watch this Post

I'm having a wall opened up that is a support wall in a two story home. Can you tell me:

1. The size of a beam for a span of 13 feet?
2. How large should the post be at each end?
3. How should the beam be tied in to the post?
4. How should the beam be tied in to the wall above?

Thank you for your help.

Mark.
