I'm opening up a section of wall between a sunroom and the rest of the house. I'm planning on removing the bearing wall and I want tuck a beam/header (triple 12" LVL spanning just under 11') as high in a wall as possible. This involves cutting out the top plate. The original builders used a 4x6 placed vertically in a 2x4 wall for the top plate.
The question is, how do I tie in the new beam to the remaining top plate? I was planning on doing this late last year but my project got derailed because of lack of time.
TIA
