Removing wall. Best way to prop up the underpurlin ??
I need to remove part of a load bearing wall. I will be Installing an lvl from underneath the ceiling, supported by triple studs either end. The wall being removed has 3 struts sitting on top of it.
My question is, What is the best way to prop up the underpurlin, whilst the wall is being removed?
I am thinking, build a temporary stud wall paaralel to the one being removed. Then put some temporary struts in from the temp wall to the underpurlin. Then the walll can be removed, and the LVL can be installed. Temp wall/struts can now be pulled down.
Also, is it ok to leave the top plate in, and have the LVL hard up to it ? Or do people remove the top plate aswell, and re-nail the struts on to the new beam ?
I have attached a diagram to show what i mean.
