I am helping a friend with a remodeling project and he has a wood beam that is 33' long, 5"widex11.5" deep (supported on both ends-basically 3-2x12's)) with a column 11 feet in from one end. It is supporting a single story above (used as two bedrooms) with attic trusses above that. The two rooms above are mostly on the end of the beam that has the column. Can we move the column to the other end of the beam the same 11 feet from the end with out the building falling down? This new location would be very close to where the upper exterior wall falls out. We think the column was just placed there because it was originally used as a garage and thats where the center of the two bays would have been. I cant find any column spacing tables on the internet. Can anyone help? Thanks Marsha</p></blockquote><p></p>
