The I beam was 5 x 14 x 19.6' and was something like 550 pounds. The steel company that I eventually found that would do a small custom job, constructed the columns and beam to engineered specs, delivered it to the curb in front of the house. All for a mere $ 3k, I then had to move it into the house and raise it into place, a task that was fun when you have a crew of one.
