I'm going to ask a really stupid question:

I watched enough property bros to know that you are going to need a column for support....and i'm not talking about emotional support either.

Yes, you should be able to put a column if not more than one to support the load of the roof. Get a good contractor to do this work as it will need to be done to code.

Only if you replace the load bearing part with something else load bearing.... Like a portal, or a gate or a beam diverting the load

Generally a beam can carry the load to the existing inside corners. A column in the center wont be enough. You also must make certain that there is a footing that will carry the load at the foundation level. A reputable builder can give you the scoop.

You can replace it with an appropriate load-bearing beam. An engineer can get you the correct size. But it's possible the beam will be so large it negates the 'opening.'

All depends on the situation, but from what little carpentry I know, you usually can as long as you can substitute something that can support the load.

Its not something I would attempt as a small time DIY-er.

You can. I work in a building where this was done, while we still occupied the floor above. It was complicated, expensive, long-winded but is certainly possible.

I liked all the intelligent discussion on this post.

Now if only that sort of thing occurred on every post, LOL! Then this site might start to get neat.

Too vague of a question to answer without seeing the house. Lots of variables to consider.
Is there a usable level above? How long is the span? Is the truss already designed to allow for the span? What is the load that will be transferred to the column? What is under the column placement to support the new load?
On and on...

I think so... although a complicated procedure, I think it is possible

Yep, you fit a suitable lintel. RSJ or a commercially made product. It has to be professionally done with supports while the lintel is fitted into place, you need to get professional advise tho

And find the video that best fits the project you are doing.

Should be able to put in a column. Alternately you can install a load bearing beam in the ceiling to take the weight of the wall you want removed.

Nope....put a steel girder up at each side and one across the top like a bridge that will support the stuff above then take the wall out completely

Yes it can be done without a lot of trouble.
You can learn a lot from watching the vids on Youtube.

Yeah need a contractor though insurance and building codes don't like us smashing up load bearing things. 😄

You can but you have to do it right or you're going to have problems

You will need to put in an RSJ at the very least

What @MethDozer said.

May need a beam too

Not a stupid question

It sounds like a bad idea.

No you can't

Yes. You need to jack and support the the ceiling and then place lally columns or appropriate wooden beam columns
