Time for an update..
Once again I am doing everything out of order, but that is ok. My thread, my rules.

I had time to set up my lights and build a new canopy. I took some pics and put them in a folder and that is when I found the pics that show the wall being ripped out and being rebuilt so the GF could have a saltwater tank again.


I started this on a friday night and had it mudded and taped by Sunday





This wall divided the front entrance and living room. Pic shows the drywall removed






Looking at the front entrance, from the living room.



and looking from the kitchen.....



Cut down the bearing wall studs....



Added a 3 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 14' Microlam to carry the load



Then I ripped out the old tiles and flooring, cut down the studs to proper elevation and then put the top plate on....




I can not find the the other pics showing the framing out of another wall to make the top 28" wide, but this gives the idea....




Another view...This one showing the laminate flooring installed as well. I used 6x6 for the posts and header, then sheathed with 1" plywood.




I do not have pictures, but I tiled the entire top as well.
