When you want to make an omelet you have to remove girder bolts.

Look, they're in the way just trust me. It's fine. Nothing can go wrong.

@Alfred With a reassuring tone tell me it's totally fine too remove some bolts from foundation girders in a residential structure. Thanks in advance.

@b4cks4w @Alfred Why not fortify that with a couple car jacks and wood blocks where you can before you remove any hardware?

That's a great idea. Instead I'm only taking out one at a time, counter sinking and replacing. Making room for a French cleat to hold up a sliding panel. Need the bolt heads flush.

@b4cks4w Be mindful of sag or downward pressure on the bolts upon removal as another gauge of whether the load is being supported.
