How to replace a load bearing post

Before doing any home renovations, be sure you have read and understood your risk and responsibility. Specifically you need to understand whether your local building code requires a building permit, and you should inquire from local building inspection services whether additional work is required. Any misadventure you encounter if you decide to repair your home is your responsibility.
