Hi All,The house I am buying has a living Room and Dinning Room, connected in an L-Shape. I want to frame something across to divide the space up a little bit. My idea is to come down on the ceiling about 1-2 feet, and come out the wall 3-5 inches. I do not have the exact width with me but it between 8-12 ft.I would like to do it like a load bearing wall, although it doesn't have to be. I also do not plan to rip out any other walls, to put everyone at ease. My thought is that if I am adding this, I might as well use it to add some more strength to the house.I was thinking about doing 3 either 2x4s or 2x6s against each wall, and then 2, or 3 (if I go with 2x6s) of vertical 2x12s across the room at the top.Just looking to get some advice.Thanks, via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2sHWLTP
