Subject: Installing a new fireplace

Anybody on the list ever installed a new window in a load-bearing wall
where there was no window before?  I just bought a new gas fireplace and
I plan on installing it in a wall with no presently existing window or
opening, on the bottom floor ofa tow-story house.  I am sure I can do
all of the work myself, but I am concerned about suporting the second
story when cutting through two of the studs that support it.  I've know
that I should support it, but I am wondering about the best way to do
so.  Is there a floor jack or anything like that I can use in a finished
houe so I don't tear up the floor?  Anybody have any advice at all about
doing this?
