New beam with 11 7/8” LVL. Will be constructed as 2-ply LVL beam but requires one of the plies to be
cut out (for approx. 1’ length) to accommodate plumbing and electrical wires. Result is beam will
only have the strength of 1-ply LVL.
(Note this beam does not have
multiple joists resting on it from above, so relatively little weight will be borne across its span. Purpose
of putting an LVL here is primarily to stop existing sag in the adjacent stairwell area.)

non-load bearing wall.
