I need to replace a load bearing wall

Posted by ted ortiz, on
The wall has termite damage. The bottom board is very flimsy, I push on it and it breaks. Most of the studs are eaten up at least 2' up. My question is this, there is an outer stone wall, does the stone wall also help support the load? Do I still need to support the ceilng with additional support posts?
