Dennis that beam you installed is pretty sweet. It definitely does look a lot bigger in there. I'll keep this in mind if i do go that route. My span wouldn't be much bigger, right around 20 feet. I believe our local lumber yard can order these. I think they carry LP solidstart lvl. Messing...

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you guys. I've included pictures from below showing the support beam in the middle and the other end of the attic space.

Ceiling and walls are finished with drywall and the floor is porcelain tile over concrete slab. I keep it 63F winter round and this last month here in northern...

I have two champion brand generators. One is a 5kw unit model 41115 and the other is a 7kw unit, model 41532. I've yet to use them for backup during a power outage, but yesterday i was able to get them out for a monthly test run. Both were running a little "hot", zero load frequency was 62.8 -...
