Garage door...

My cousin wants to turn her two (8') garage doors into one (17' 6''), however the support beam is right in the middle.. I believe it can be done if a steel header is used and supported by steel beams... she was told they would have to get a permit to change it.. so she changed her mind.. but I would like to know if that is true?

Also does anyone know how to get that texteried ceiling smooth again?

    This is a HUGE job. Not only is it extremely complicated to temporarily support the old structure while adding a new beam, it is clear from the picture that you have another beam holding up the floor/roof structure above running perpendicular to the doors. You'd have to replace that too, with a flush girder tied into the new steel beam. Like I said, HUGE, really HUGE job and totally not worth it!
