We have covered this sooooo many times. You need someone with experience to determine if you have a load bearing wall. Period.
Read through the old posts in the walls sections. You will understand why.
Sorry but this is not a place to explain to the new DIY folks what to understand without being there. I have built to many homes with strange bearing points, and seen to many just built wrong to begin with. Then to go on and disturb another load point only to have a waterbed above.
Just have a contractor come look at the job and give you some advice, some is free.
Just like you call a plumber for propane.
A hater of what? I guess I'm just not an abreviation guy.
Toolguy ,I wish it was that simple , and in in some homes it is. The issue is to find out.
By the way sonofamike what are you up to if I might ask?
I have had 4 contractors, 2 said yes, 2 said no, if this is a load bearing wall!! Our living room, dining roomis a vaulted ceiling!!!
The wall I want down is between the dining room and the kitchen and hallway!!! They both have pass thrus!!! It's the cornersI want taken down so it will be a open counter!!!
