Hi,
Once again one of those questions about whether a wall is load-bearing or not...
We moved into a house from the '60s earlier this year.
Between our bedroom and the room we plan to use as a dining room, there is a wall with built-in wardrobes.
My question now is; can the walls "behind" the wardrobes be load-bearing, or can I safely demolish them?
My plan is to take down the wall towards the "dining room" and the back of the other wardrobe. Then I will frame a wall along the entire "dining room" which will form the back wall of the new wardrobe. Then I will demolish the wall in the bedroom and the rest of the wardrobes. Finally, a new wall will be framed in the bedroom with a sliding door so that the entire space between the walls becomes a wardrobe with entry from the bedroom.
The house is 10.68x6.88m, and the roof ridge runs parallel to the wall I plan to replace.
Grateful for quick responses...
See attached drawing for more info.
