To anyone attempting this put a strongback on the top of your joists b4 you cut them so they don't sag after you cut them. A strongback is a peice of dimensional lumber layed vertical like a spine so the joists your not cutting will hold the ones you cut in place until you install your headers.

A very clear and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
How did you know you can just cut through the ceiling joists without perpurcussions?
Thanks!
