Let me correct the 2 story thingee..

It is a long ranch style house, wide long roof, and is a two story structure in the center. This is a load bearing wall with a bedroom above. No building code here, I live out in B.F.E. or should I say south Texas. There is a double top plate in the wall right now and I thought I would leave that in place with the beam below the two top plates. Will have a temp support wall on both sides before the beam goes in.

Should I remove the 2x4's at the top?
