Fiberboard in a load-bearing wall?

[fat_dady]

This is what our kitchen looks like...
It was a budget renovation when we moved in:
New countertops, new handles on drawers and doors, new fridge/freezer, and new stove
Then I installed the spotlights over the countertops, I'll also remove the fluorescent light but that hasn't happened yet...

and another one...

The dishwasher is probably there under the picture

Well, a countertop dishwasher... = small + that it gets in the way... I would like to have a "real" one.

I realized you might have meant my daughter?

Yep

 

[fat_dady]

it was maybe a little troublesome....
but I probably won't do anything about it unless the roof starts to sag...
The weight on the roof is at least less than when the house was built because the previous owners switched to a metal roof in 1998.

Hope it holds for a while....

Do you have the desire and opportunity to post drawings (if you have something other than floor plans) so one can see if the trusses are the same? It would be fun to know if one needs to worry...

No drawings of the roof trusses, but I have this from the technical description:

"Top floor: Truss roof trusses c/c 120, 2" x 3" studs between the inner frames."

/Mr.Handy

Could it be that it should be between the outer frames...

I also think that I have c/c 100, except at the chimney where it is longer/shorter depending on whether you include the incomplete roof truss in the middle or not...
