hi, i'm thinking about removing a wall in my kitchen but see the joists above rest on them.The joists go full length,14ft,but rest about 6ft along on a wall seperating two parts of my kitchen.The joists measure 7"x2" and the wall to be taken down is 8ft wide.
Will i need to put up an rsj and if so how big or can i get away with joining 2 or 3 joists together along the 8ft supporting the joists.One wall is a double thickness and the other a single wall.
