    I'm looking to take a chimney breast out from my living room. It's approx 5'*2'. There is no stack above it as that was removed before I bought the house.

    There are I believe 4 floor joists running into the top of the breast.

    Any advice?

    There will be a trimmer joist, ideally doubled up to support the 4 joist ends

    I don't see any problem in removing the chimney breast, has the chimney stack been removed also?
