Hi
I've got a wooden joist running from one side of the house to no where. It stops just before the chimney stack. Same from the other side of the house. It sits on top of the loft joists and doesn't appear to be supporting anything. See picture below of the original house plans.
What is it for and can i remove it ?
Also, does anyone know if i could remove the king posts (centre posts) ? There is only 2 of them and they are only 0.5" x 3" and can't really be offering any kind of support.
