Open the ceiling

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
My husband is currently converting our garage into a kitchen / dining room. He has primarily figured out all areas except how to eliminate the ceiling joists to open up the ceiling to the rafters. Please advise how to redirect the load of the roof to the walls in the most open fashion possible.

Thanks.
