We subsequently had them build a storage shed underneath the deck. Cost estimates, planning & execution were very professional.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
