Hello!

I'm renovating at home. Now I'm considering which walls are load-bearing. I think I know which ones they are, but I'd still like to hear from you experts out there. The reason I'm asking is because I'm planning to tear down walls between the hallway and living room as well as between the hallway and kitchen on the first floor, the bathroom on that floor is already demolished so only the wall between the hallway and the kitchen remains.

Attaching some drawings. The house was built in 1942 and has plank walls.

Thanks in advance
 
  • Floor plan of a 1942 house showing a cellar layout with measurements, including rooms like bathroom, laundry, and stairs. Used for renovation planning.
  • Floor plan of a 1942 house showing rooms including kitchen, entrance hall (TAMB.), living room, and chamber. Focus on wall changes for renovation.
  • Floor plan of a house built in 1942, showing the layout of walls, rooms, staircase, and existing spaces on the first floor.
  • Cross-section drawing of a house showing wall dimensions and floor levels, related to renovation plan for wall removal. House built in 1942 with plank walls.
High risk that those particular walls are load-bearing!
 
Thank you.

Yes, I believe that too. But I had a carpenter here the other day who said the wall towards the kitchen was load-bearing but was more uncertain about the wall towards the living room. Half of that wall goes freely from floor 1 up to the attic (big staircase there). He thought there was no weight on it. Attaching some pictures of what I/he means...
 
  • Wooden staircase and adjacent walls viewed from above, illustrating structure related to a discussion about load-bearing walls between kitchen and living room.
  • Exposed wooden ceiling section above a wooden floor, showing possible support structure, related to a load-bearing wall discussion between kitchen and living room.
Okay
It wasn't visible on the drawing
