One does not need to know every detail about a building to offer up suggestions.

The person who posted this topic (and anyone else considering posting a question, seeking advice, etc.) should feel welcome to do so without possessing a degree in engineering.

Obviously our advice is merely suggestion and not a set of plans approved by local code enforcement. That's why there is a disclaimer at the Forum start page about following advice here.

This medium is for all skill levels (regardless of how many stars one has above their name!).

Not everyone is capable of providing a detailed set of CAD produced drawings with all load specifications in their posts, nor should they feel pressure to do so.
