   Rob,

   How the heck are we supposed to have a picture of your clients completed project. If she cant envision it, do some drawings or send her to an architech who has acess to some 3-D animation equipment. they can do a fly through if she can pay for it. Personally for such a project I would drop the beam where the old wall was and add a couple of columns. It opens the room but keeps them seperate and gives you the chance to do some interesting trim. It is also a lot cheaper than opening the ceiling and recessing a beam in there.

   *Rick,Would you also come out & and pay me to do he construction? Seriously, This is not an unusual project but she is having a hard time with the concept. I said I would look around & see if I could find any examples. I doubt we would need a beam as it is truss construction. I do still need to verify the specs but I'm not going thru all the effort until she says yes I want to do this.
