So I'm not worried. Because I've lived here ten years and don't know how long it's been done before that.
But I was wondering. Is there a minimum amount of wall needed for an rsj to remove a downstairs wall? Online it says the steel should be on the wall by 100mm. But don't much about the wall.
So I my case there is two doors on the wall. So there isn't really much wall there.... if that makes sense. It's door, 7" to the 4" T and then 7" to the next door. (Which has been plasterboarded over)
TLDR: what's the minimum size column for an rsj to take out a downstairs wall? Supporting an upstairs brick wall.
Thanks.
