Dr. Ted Inserts a Microllam

After Ted gutted the house, he consulted with engineers and the architect to decide how to hold the house up.  Did code require some updating?  Did the planned room reconfiguration require a different support system?  Well, he decided, yes indeed, the house needed some major reinforcement, so it would continue to stand up.    He bought some Microllam, a brand name for laminated wood of micro-thin layers that is meant for structural support.
He decided that the new beam needed to run from the front to the back of the house.  Its one piece and therefore very,very long.  How, you may ask, does one get a a Microllam in place?

Why, cut a hole in both ends of the house and just shove it in.
