    This job is very intinsive if you do undertake this you must take care to support the walls that the floor jouist and beam supports. Otherwise your roof could sag and that would cause and cost a bundle to fix. I strongly suggest you get someone who is experinced. If you can not afford a good carpenter, start with a lot of reasearch make a plan of attack so to speak. IS you house Pier and Beam or on a slab? There are so many questions to ask I really can't help much without speaking to you and seeing directly the problem. Sorry if I am not much help.
