Main Support Beam replacement

Our home is tilting to the center. I believe the main support beam was damaged prior to our having purchased the home years ago and over time has just weakend tremendously. Can it be fixed and how? Thank you.

I suspect that this is the time to call an engineer.

Chair rails and steel 2X4 stud framing

MikeNYC on Nov 07, 2002

What would be the proper way to attach chair rails or any other wood items to a wall that is built on steel 2X4 studs? Can these steel studs accept a nail as a wood stud would? HELP ! ! ! My new home in Florida is being built with 24" on center steel framing. Any help will be most appreciated.

Ceiling in Kitchen

L

loonatick on Nov 13, 2002

I need help in my kitchen. My ceiling in my kitchen is in disrepair. I have the blown material (glitter included) that is on sheet rock. It looks like something from the seventies era. I have a small section that has literally fallen off. I can see the small section of sheet rock that is there. I would like to know if I can take the material off myself by stripping it. I would also like to stomp it once I am finished because I am planning on doing the whole kitchen. Should I hire someone for this job or can I do this myself? :confused:
