Loan bearing wall - dos and don'ts

[Account Closed]

Folks, I have an annoying load bearing wall. How do I remove it? Could you guide me? In case I choose to get permits from the city what do I need to provide them?

I know I need to have plans of the house. But how about the structural engineer? Do I understand correctly that after I get a plan from structural engineer and I get it approved with city I will have to bring in a framer? Then how do I control the work of the framer? Namely, should I wait for the city inspection?

What are your dos and don'ts with load bearing walls?

I do have to remove it...
