Re: Removing load bearing wall question
It's not a matter of how much weight the storage space above will hold, but how long that floor will stay straight. 38 feet is a long stretch for wood without anything under it supporting the structure. I'd leave a couple of posts holding it up or have an engineer come look at what you want to do. I've refused to mess with load bearing walls before as I wouldn't want to be responsible for the building collapsing or worse.
