Maybe you misunderstood me when I was talking about where to place the 1/4" steel

Under the foot of the post, instead of the 2x6 he has.
I never said his 2x6 will transfer the weight to the large piece of wood he is using.
I simply said the wood and the 1/4" steel would displace the weight to a similar footprint. There will probably be some compression of the 2x6 if that wall is actually taking much weight at all, but once it does a slight turn of the jack will fix that right up.
A single stub wall in the center will carry the weight just fine. A closet in that spot would be great too.
But at the same time, nothing at all would probably never have an issue too. But a little over engineering is seldom a bad thing.
