Wash Park kitchen opening

A bearing wall came out between the kitchen and the dining room, replaced by a flush beam the plaster could hide.

The constraint

The house stayed occupied, and a cast-iron stack sat two studs away from the cut.

Outcome

One room now, with the beam invisible and the stack relocated before the plaster crew arrived.

Scope

  1. 01Temporary shore on both floors
  2. 02Flush LVL package and new king studs
  3. 03Reframed window seat that shared the same wall
  4. 04Sequence that let the plumber move the stack before drywall

Next project

Arvada garage and ADU frame
