Hello!
I'm planning to install an over-air device above a door through an interior wall that is load-bearing. The door is 88 cm wide and on either side of the door there are wooden studs from floor to ceiling/roof beam. Additionally, there are wooden studs 45x70 at 60 cm centers with a 10mm particle board.
When I cut out an opening in the particle board to take a look, I see that there is a vertical, short stud centered over the door. At the top, it reaches the ceiling/roof beam, but downward it has been made part of the short beam that runs horizontally above the door. They haven’t made the short beam a separate piece to then clamp the vertical short stud between the short beam and the roof beam.
The question is - what's the best way to install the over-air device? Can I remove the vertical short stud? Do I need to replace it, for example with two new ones placed on either side of the over-air device, between the short beam and the roof beam? And is the construction significantly affected if I remove the centered vertical short stud since it is part of the short beam?
In the worst case, I can refrain from placing the over-air device centered above the door, but it will look odd. I also apologize in advance if I've messed up the terminology!
