Hi Jimmie, I am in the same situation here. My garage has a 3 beam LVL forming
a box for my house. I created the new opening with the help from an engineer
but I had to break the 5 jacks supporting that beam to rest on 2- 24 inch LVLs
to carry the load about 2 and a half feet down the foundation from its
original point. Also had to add a footing. After doing that, Im having serious
regrets about it, given that much load/critical point load of the house is
there. I wanted to know why you said it could be dangerous? Is it just the
uneasy feeling of that point load? or that re-framing it would be dangerous.
Its currently awaiting for the new door to be installed but Im seriously
considering putting it back for peace of mind, which sounds crazy..
