Greetings,
Please see the photo. I am speaking of the tiny wall that is in between the ceiling and the shower rod. I'm sure there is technical name for this, but I don't know what it is. I was thinking "soffit", but that probably isn't right. If someone could educate me on the name of it, I would appreciate it.
Anyway, I am redoing my bathroom and I was thinking about removing it. To the best of my knowledge, it is not load bearing, and it is made of hollow material (the rest of the walls in the home are plaster). Is there any concerns I should have about removing it? Is it there for a reason?
I want to remove it so the room seems bigger (it's a very small bathroom), plus I want to let more light in from the window (hidden behind the shower curtain).
If I do remove it, what's the best method? A Sawz-All taking out small pieces at a time?
Thanks for your help,
V
