double garage into one

[dino89]

hi
my brotherinlaw has purchased two council garages with his property .he wants to have the center wall removed to allow more space the joists are 8X 2 which span the entire width 14 foot it is a ply wood and felt roof on the joists ,would this span be ok with the dividing wall removed ,the dividing wall only sits under the joist aso you can cleary see its one lenght of timber
thanks

8" x 2" joists will just about span 14' at 16" (400mm) centres.

Try using a full stop to break your sentences up as it is difficult to understand your writing.
