Switch load-bearing wall

[Andersm74]

Hello

I am planning to replace a load-bearing wall using a glulam beam and posts. It feels important that the beam is flush against the ceiling. What is the best way to achieve this? Should I cut the posts slightly longer and hammer them under the beam? Wedges?

Grateful for tips

The latest issue of Gör det Själv actually described it.

The method they prescribed, if I remember correctly, was to first wedge between the beams and the posts.
There will be quite a bit of air between the beam and the posts, and you fill that space with expanding mortar, I don't know which kind.

Finally, you remove the wedges and add more expanding mortar.

Then you have

If they rent the "ställnings stolparna" they use, then you can screw up the beam and lastly tighten the glulam beam against the "ceiling," then you can measure the wooden posts so that you can install them in place!
