I could probably help you, but there are several things I don't
understand. I was waiting for you to respond to redfoxjumps-ga before
I asked my questions. Are you going to answer redfoxjumps-ga's
questions.

the stairs are centered on the longer wall?  

The beam is paralell to the long wall? 

Does the beam span the 40 foot width?

Does the beam span the only the stairs width? 

What is the stairs width?

Was the stairs constructed offsite and trucked in? Is the a catalog
size or webpage for the stairs?

Does the beam support only the stairs? or the whole 2nd floor?

Any guess as to the weight? stairs or 2nd floor
