Since our ranch house had standard 8ft ceilings, we wanted to raise the ceiling up to give the house a more open feel. We are also removing part of a load bearing wall to open up the kitchen into the dining room. In order to do all this we had to put in two support walls to install a new support bean where the original wall was. Once the support beam was in the new ceiling joists were installed, raising the ceiling height to 9.5ft .
