Can anyone give me an guesstimate on what it would cost to replace a load bearing beam in a basement that is 50 feet long. It would be (3) 2x12s and a new 6x6 post that is 8 feet tall every 8 feet. So 6 post, 8 feet tall that also go into ground on concrete 36 inches deep. Not looking for someone to come out, just throw out a ball bark # on here please.

Wow. That is 20% of what I would expect it to have cost. But I will not argue with J Scott. I Read your books J. Thanks for putting that info out into the universe. It was very well received.

I'm sure you can find quotes for 5x as much, but unless there is something complex or technical about the replacement, it really shouldn't be that complicated of a job.
I did forget about the demo -- taking out the existing posts. That could be another $500...
