Girder Hangers

mjay

Its a renovation, lots of plumbing in the way, so I have to be a little inventive.
Load bearing wall, two story house: Joists [2*10s 16o.c, 7ft span] on 1st floor. Would like to run a girder [3*2*10s] directly under a load bearing wall, and would like to maintain headroom in basement. So ... Thoughts on using a girder/truss hanger attached to a small [3*2*10s 4ft] header sitting on block walls, I could also attach a ledger to the header and notch the girder.
Would appreciate opinions/advice.
