No, I'm meditating on the potential uses for this metal pole in the middle of one of my rooms. It can't be removed because it's highly structural (supporting a steel I-beam upon which the vast majority of structural forces are placed)

LOL, yeah that pole is probably close to 4", but a stipper pole is probably close to 2".

I wouldn't mess aroung with it, because it is not your house & local code is a pain in the arse.

I replaced two 4x4 poles in my basement with three 2x12 laminate spanning 14 feet (code call for two 2x12 laminates, but I added an extra beam at $75 to stiffen up the floor). And, also added 4 regular 2x12 bridge beams along the old cross beams to stiffen the floor. While at it I spend an extra $800 on sound proofing fiber glass ++ drywall for the basement ceilings. Total job with 2x4 studs, lightings and finish wall, paints, floor tiles, and 2 solid core doors cost less than 4K and a lot of my time.

I now can scream my lung off in the basement and the upper floors can?t hear a thing.

Haha, I have NO intention of changing this structural member (even though I wish desperately it were located a few feet to the north and thus out of my damn way). I was just seeing if it could be used.

As for code, well, I'm allowed to make any changes I want to this floor because it's almost totally unfinished. Before the house was sold to my grandmother, they stapled the cheapest wall panelboard they could find to the exterior walls, hastily erected a "wall" using nonstandard stud sizes and spacing to create distinct "rooms", and threw down a carpet on the concrete floor. The ceiling material is actually wall paneling. They had like, two electrical outlets in here, we're ready to expand that to nearly 20 (just need to chain in breaker box #5).

Generally the supporting posts are mounted securely to the floor in a groove/pin/bracket. Replacing the existing posts may require mounting brackets of some sort to keep the posts secure.

I have just put in a new wet bar, cabinets & an awesome full bath room. I?m now saving for some new furniture & a big screen TV. And, I soon will need to make new friends for hockey nights.

:D

PS. Are putting the pole in to practice your routine for amateur nights, or is it going to be a fun/pain pole?

Fun/pain/conversation piece pole. I bought myself a pair of handcuffs today.

Now; the question is, where can I buy a 2-2.5" brass pipe?
