I've got an old two story house. It was built in the late 60's and is pretty much a cube cut into 8 rooms, 4 top, 4 bottom. We would like to tear down a wall between two downstairs rooms (kitchen and dining) and put in a bar. I'm fairly sure the wall is a load bearing wall (perpendicular to the beams in the ceiling above it). I've no experience in this sort of thing. I'm sure there's probably at least 2 or 3 experts on this board that can give me some direction. I assume that I need an engineer or something. How do I find one, what sort of cost should I expect? Or what's the best way for me to proceed?

Thanks for the help.
