Structural Opening - Knocking Two Rooms Into One and Fitting a Steel RSJ

When we consider a structural knock through or opening in a wall, the procedure is not so different to perhaps creating an opening in a wall for a new window or door. But, this does not mean that the materials will be of the same specification as each individual job will possess its own structural requirement.

Is The Wall A Load Bearing Wall?

Structural Opening - Knocking Two Rooms Into One and Fitting a Steel RSJ

The first thing to be determined is whether or not the structure you plan on altering is load bearing or not. It will be necessary to carry out some elementary checks to know for sure whether it is load bearing or not.

Just Exactly What Is A Load Bearing Wall And How Do We Deal With It?

If a wall has any other structure above it or load as the case may be then we can consider this wall to be load bearing and as such will need to accommodate any necessary support when removing any part of it. It is quite common in many houses for dividing walls to carry the load of the first floor joists. They will therefore need some sort of support before any alteration can be made.

Supporting the load is commonly achieved by the use of steel acrow props which are inserted into the wall alongside timber needles to offer support whilst removing part of the structure

How To Tell If A Wall Is Non Load Bearing

If the joists run at right angles to the wall then it is almost certainly carrying a load from first floor level and provisions will need to be put in place to support the load. If the joists run parallel to the wall then it is unlikely the wall is carrying any timber joists etc, but may however, still be carrying another load. You can clarify this by making some inspection holes at ceiling level and also going upstairs to see if you can see what runs on top of the wall.

For most room opening jobs or knock through's though, you will be making your opening at a height of around 2.5 metres leaving a about 0.5 metres from the ceiling so in any case, there will still be a load to support

The Process Of The Knock Through

OK, so we will assume that you now know the load bearing status of the wall so you can now start to prepare the job ahead. You will need to check some basic things first. Are there any heating appliances on the wall that need taken off? Are any electrical sockets in the way? If they are, you will need to get your plumber and electrical contractor to ensure any wiring or plumbing changes are carried out prior to the work being commencing.

Structural Calculations Are Vital

Prior to any structural modification you must have the load calculated by either a capable builder or preferably a structural engineer. Each job is different and may warrant a different set of rules to accommodate different loads of a structure. Typically on a domestic single leaf knock through with perhaps a 2 metre opening in a load bearing wall, a steel RSJ would be put in place to take the load above. The dimensions of this RSJ will vary and in all cases must adhere to current building control, who in all cases will want to inspect any such structural alteration. If you are in doubt at any stage of the job, you should contact your building officer for help and guidance. Remember, they are there to help you.

The Initial Stages Of The Structural Alteration

Mark the area out on the wall to reflect the opening you are planning. Additionally, mark out the where the supporting RSJ or lintel will go. The RSJ should lay on a concrete pad stone and have a minimum 6 inch bearing on each side of the wall opening.

With a lump hammer and bolster, chop out the plaster from the wall to show the brickwork beneath. Repeat this procedure on both sides. Now make holes in the wall, for every metre, above where you will be positioning the steel RSJ. It is in these holes that you will place your needles which are held up by acrow props. These props will take the weight of the structure until you get the steel RSJ in place.

Clean your work area and prepare any necessary platform to make your work easier for when it comes to lifting in the steel RSJ. Fitting the RSJ will need a minimum of two strong men. You will also need to ensure the RSJ has fixing points to fix your plasterboard to afterwards when making good the plasterwork and alteration.

The RSJ should be on pad stones with 6 inch minimum bearings either side and bedded on a firm mix or sand and cement at a ratio of 3:1. Once the steel is in bedded you must check for level and plumb and when satisfied build up the brickwork from on top to make a tight fit between existing brickwork and steel RSJ. Use slate to pack in and close any gap.

You should leave any supports in place until the next day or when the mortar set hard. After this point it will be safe to take them out. Afterwards, fill in the holes you made for the timber needles with leftover bricks and point up and pack in tight with slates.

The process of carrying out any structural modification should only be undertaken by a fully competent and experienced builder. All structural works should have loads professionally calculated before any part of a structure is removed. If In any doubt, contact your local building inspector for help and support.

Detroit Reports Large Number of Rising Foreclosures and Squatters While Home Prices Decline to Gain

Detroit has faced a number of economic problems for years and as the economy continues to struggle on a global level, so does this city. Here is a look its current housing market with some positives but mostly some of the challenges it faces as a metropolitan city.

Detroit Reports Large Number of Rising Foreclosures and Squatters While Home Prices Decline to Gain

Foreclosures Rising

July brought many negative data points to Detroit beginning with foreclosure notices. They continue to rise according to RealtyTrac, and now for one home in every 339, it has received a foreclosure notice.

Other data for July included 3.847 homes for sale are from foreclosures for a total of 32.007 homes and with the 5.701 homes that closed in July, there were 689 homes that were short sales.

Detroit has the greatest number of homeowners either underwater or who owe togreater amount on their loans than the value of their property. RealtyTrac disclosed that 59 percent of mortgage holders carry a loan-to-value ratio of get 120 percent or greater.

Good Time to Buy

In the Detroit's four-county area, median prices for Detroit homes dropped in June to ,000 from the previous year of $ 75,000, representing a 13.3 percent decline. Detroit was named as one of five cities where it is better to purchase a home then rent because its home prices are undervalued by 35 percent.

This may be seen as a positive as great values may be found on homes. With the last six months seeing a slight recovery in Detroit's famed automobile sector slowly, residents are looking to buy new homes--a good sign for the economy.

Moreover, there recentlyintroduced Detroit real estate owned home-buying initiative, Project 14, which has a particular incentive for police officers, is gaining interest. In early August, a home could be purchased with a down payMent of $ 1,000 with the opportunity for the police officer to receive grants up to $ 150,000 for renovations. This fills up the neighborhoods and police can live in the city.

Empty Homes Appeal to Squatters

Recently in Detroit, there have been a large number of complaints about squatters. The city has acknowledged there is a problem; however, officials are not exactly sure what can be done about it.

Detroit currently has over 100.000 empty properties and neighboring residents have seen an increase in people taking over the home, making it their own. Michigan state lawsays "the burden of proof is on the Detroit home owned by the missing mortgage holder, which makes it difficult for the squatters to leave. In addition, to get rid of them, sometimes the eviction process can take many months.

Another option is the bank can also try to remove the squatters. however, after living in the home for 15 years, Michigan state law dictates that the squatter can call their temporary home, its legal home.

Is the Market Poised for Another Collapse?

In a recent study by 24/7 Wall Street, it listed 10 cities that are poised to have a housing market collapse. Detroit was included on this list and here are the numbers that led to this conclusion.

The company forecasted an expected price drop in homes at 13.4 percent. Detroit's median family incomecomes in at ,000. Its unemployMent rate stands at 12.7 percent, well above the rate for the nation 9.2 and its median home price at $ 42,000 is the lowest when compared to 385 major metropolitan areas.

A more damaging projection number may be that Detroit's housing market will hit rock bottom in the second quarter of 2012.

Detroit's economic woes are not anything new. Ever since the beginning of the recession, the city has seen diving home values, foreclosures, vacancies, and unemployment. Its decrease in home values has a consistent decline and with its all-time lows, it may see a 13.4 percent additional decrease in 2012 's first quarter.

Airbus A380 ascent Frankfurt Canon PowerShot HS SX230

Airbus A380 ascent Frankfurt Canon PowerShot HS SX230 Video Clips. Duration : 8.48 Mins.

We were supposed to fly on the Boeing 747 but were switched to the Airbus 380-800. Lufthansa began flying from SFO on May 10th so we lucked out. This is my first time on the Airbus 380-800. From the outside, this aircraft is as big as a u.s. federal penitentiary. In the video, as the plane taxis out, you can see another A380 parked. The takeoff was smooth and the aircraft is great at keeping out noise. The aircraft had a little bit of a running start. We took off from Frankfurt to San Francisco. The flight is about 10 hr and 30 min. The economy class cabin is one of the most comfortable I sat in. Please see my other video that shows off the leg room and layout: www.youtube.com Lots of knee room and legroom. Seats are slim but provide a good cushion. I hope you enjoy the video, it is availablein 720p HD. Canon PowerShot SX230 HS video
