Re: Beam sizing
Some assumptions:
1. Your a home inspector.
2. Your not a PE.
Unless you have PE after your name AND you where retained to determine the load bearing on any of the building’s support framing systems, oh why would you go there?
If the local chapter of the International Structural Engineers doesn't have you up on charges for performing engineering without a required state license (assuming your state has such a civil code) then Mr. Peck and I will be happy to appear as your expert witnesses for the attorney you have retained to defend yourself and advise for a quick offer of settlement. I am not joking! Please take this advice to heart.
