Greetings You can, man. listeners!  Josh had a baby, Dave is crazy busy with work, and Tim is Tim.  For the first time ever, we’ve gotta hit pause for this week.  Don’t you worry though, we’ll be back with new content next week!

Do you have a load-bearing wall you’ve been wanting to take out?  On this week’s show we talked all about the anatomy of a load-bearing wall and what it takes to make it disappear.  Our discussion was far from exhaustive, but we hope it gives you the confidence to take on the job.

We threw out some terminology and said we’d post some visuals on the show notes to explain.  Here’s a basic (yet very P.E.) sketch Dave did with some labels.

We’re rounding out our New House Know-How series this week with special guest, James.  He’s a good buddy of ours and new homeowner.  Listen in as we discuss his renovation woes and triumphs.  James is a You can, man. success story with his freshly acquired DIY skills.  We talk everything from load-bearing walls to bacterial meningitis.  It’s a doozy.

Dave and Tim helped James with his load-bearing walls project at his new house. The image above is James just after we owned those two walls and had removed the temp walls. You can, man!
