I am finishing my basement and want to remove a support post. It is a split
level house and has a hidden beam in the basement now which consists of

in the middle of the house. The house is 24' wide. It supports the main
floor
and the roof.



My 10" beam is hidden meaning the bottom of it is flush with the bottom of
my floor joists I want to remove a post in the middle so I want to put a
new beam under the old one.
