| These full-length, temporary walls were built to support the house until new posts and beams take the load. |
 |
| This short wall supports the weight of our grand piano upstairs. |
 |
| To maximize the ceiling height, we decided to recess (set back) the beams by notching the existing joists. |
 |
| Cutting these long pieces of strong fir does feel - temporarily - like we've broken the vertebrae of our house! |
 |
| Here is the new spine - an engineered beam set into the notched joists. Stronger than ever! |
