If I ever want to make the kitchen bigger and move the wall 5 feet in the direction of the green arrow?
I would probably hire a contractor, but just so I know what to do so I don't get ripped off.
How do I make sure I'm not tearing down a load bearing wall or something that shouldn't be torn down?
I know there's all kinds of plumbing and electric stuff in the wall for sink and refridgerator line, and for outlets, oven, and garbage disposal. Also, the range hood vent leaves through one of the cabinets.
I put the blue and red marks just to show the same locations in different pictures.
I'm not asking for complete details, but just a general list of steps, then I could Google/YouTube it. I know how to build a wall.
