Creating Open Concept in 6 Old Abandoned House

What happens here

After removing a section of the wall, the worker discovers that it is a load-bearing wall, supporting the central line of the ceiling joists. This prevents its complete removal. He also identifies a poorly installed electrical breaker box and exposed live wires within the wall. Due to the complexity and safety risks associated with electrical work and structural integrity, he decides to call a professional electrician to relocate the breaker box and adjust the wiring. He also mentions the possibility of installing a beam if the ceilings were higher, but the current ceiling height makes this impractical.

Goal: Assess structural integrity and identify electrical safety concerns.
