  1. NO


  2. ahahah

  3. Without looking at the UK biulding regs I seem to remember that you would need around 12 inches of bearing on either side.

  4. Check With your steel supplier as they have the formulas on engineering standards as well as council requirments on spans and sizes required

  5. I'm sure you could make it happen but at what cost?
