Structural Beam Seperated
Went to look at an open house this weekend and noticed there are 2 sets of structural beams for the house. One of the beams runs across the entire house and the other structural beam is separated. There's also another post in the corner of the house made up of 3 pieces of 2x4 wood.
We are considering putting an offer for this house however we are concerned why one of the beams is separated. Is this an issue we should be concern with? Why would it be separated?
The house is in the City of Vaughan and it's approximately 30 years old and almost 3000sq ft. There is 2 sets of stairs to the basement and my best guess is that one of the beams would provent the stairs of being built as it gets in the way so they moved part of the beam a foot or so over.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Ps. I did have an account on RFD that dated back when they first started but for some reason it won't let me login anymore or even recognize my email so I had to create a new account
