Hello , I'm new to the forum an have a question regarding header spans.
I want to remove a wall between my Kitchen and Living room. The span would be 8 feet with 2x6 ceiling joist/rafters only, it is only attic space above. I would like to use 2 - 2x8 with 1/2' plywood between them to keep the height as high as possible and I don't want to recess the header in the attic. What size header is recommended for this span?
Thanks for the help
