Expanding Garage INTO house (goodbye Den)

BigJim

Another thought, you may need to check with the builder of the house to see what strength concrete he used in the part you want to use as a garage. I always had 4,000 mix with wire or rebar and fiber both in the garage concrete. Also the place you want to locate a new weight bearing wall may require a new footing under the slab.

Yes, the S.E. will call-out the headers, beams, hangers, footings, post bases, post caps, etc. for you, all you need to do is the physical labor---Lol. Scroll down the choices (cursor over the letters) just on top-hangers here: http://www.strongtie.com/products/ca...lange_cwp.html
