Look in the yellow pages under "Iron Work" or "Steel Fabricators".Dick it's the column not the beam. Everyone thanks sounds simple just have to play it safe. One last question its a two story brick house. How big of a jack will i need. I like the steel column Idea where would I get it
You can get a 20 ton hydraulic jack at Sears for under $90.00. Or rent one for a day or 2 at a rental place.Thats some good information. I think I will try and do it seeing that its pretty straight forward. I understand the dangers though. Thanks for the information everyone. Now off to find a screw jack
