trying again.. this is the 3rd time I'm trying to write about this topic.. Vista / explorer crashes when I try to preview pictures I want to upload.. I'll keep it short this time...
I'm planning to open the intermediate floor in the hallway of the house, which is a 1½-story -73 (LB). I've removed a part of the attic as well as the floor particle board on the upper floor and the plasterboard in the ceiling on the lower floor.
I would like to "remove" 2 of the beams, no 2 & 4 in the pictures, after consulting the drawings, I think it "should" be possible to, for example, relieve them using hangers and mount them to the thicker beams (no 1 & 3) and no 5 in the pictures???
I think I've been skilled in paint so I hope the small pictures are decipherable
Is there any skilled person who knows what applies and would like to throw in some comment about the ideas?
Kind regards

I think I should probably say, sitting here and being absolutely certain without having seen it on-site doesn't feel right. I assume that the intermediate floor came in prefabricated sections when the house was built, so the wider beams are simply a section joint. The centerline on the drawing I assume is also section joints, and if so, the beams don't extend from the other long wall, just from the middle of the floor.
I THINK it's just a matter of going ahead.
If you have a wall in the middle of the house on the ground floor, I'm even more convinced that it shouldn't be a problem. If I'm completely wrong, someone will probably point it out before the weekend is over...

Thanks for the answers, master, but I chickened out a bit and only took the first 2 that I initially wrote. Yes, the house has a heart wall in the middle on the ground floor, so I shouldn't have affected any bearing capacity...?
Here's a picture of the build so far.
I'll update with more when it starts to get finished

Hello!
Had a friend who's a carpenter here today, he thought after looking at the drawing and checking the support beams that I could remove all the beams, i.e., 1 & 3 as well according to the new picture below... Anyone feel like making an intelligent comment? It's only a total width of 170 cm on the "hölet."
Kind regards
