We had a beam not dissimilar to that, it was supported by absolutely fuck all. Make sure you see the ends of yours before you make any assumptions.

EDIT Not strictly true it's supported by at least 2 "structural" 4 X 2s and a sheet of plasterboard. That's pretty bad, and by pretty bad I mean appalling.

Sometimes wonder if we even have a beam in ours given the state of everything else

Fucking hell!
Bet you kept that door closed once it was uncovered 🤣

Wow, that's impressive in a horrifying kind of way. The weight of the RSJ is making me think you're right, I'll get somebody to come round and quote for doing it all properly before taking it any further.

Jesus.
Yes to the board in an acro around it and run though.
Have a mate who really knows what he is doing, but does go through a decent supply of props. I think it's more free forgets to pick them up from job after he's finished than that they get left inside a wall. But can totally see it happening.If we every get the chance would totally build our own from new, either wholey or prefab a passivhaus job with a nice view. Land cost aside they really don't cost as much as I thought. Esp when a smaller, less efficient, potential for instant negative equity, and attached, and also not built well, "bellway" "home" is getting on for £350/400k. Proper sick of finding other people's trash jobs in houses.

If I square this arch myself am I going to die? My hunch is no due to the beefy rsj but wouldn't mind sharing the blame should the worst happen. Thanks.
