Hello!
I have plans to go through our old boiler room in the basement in two places. The idea is to make two openings at the red arrows on the plan. It's a bit hard to see in the picture, the basement plan centered. To the right of the planned hole, there are smoke channels leading to the stove both in the basement and on the floor above (ground floor).
However, I have no idea if these are load-bearing walls and I don't like the guess-saw-run game.... The house is a brick villa from '58 and I would say that both walls consist of blåbetong blocks. Anyone who dares to think something based on the plans?

Blue concrete carries nothing. Drive.
Hmm, have done some test drilling in the walls now and it wasn't as blue as I had expected. One wall, which faces the text BASEMENT FLOOR, is probably cement/concrete after all. Is there danger looming then, I wonder? How do these concrete structures work, aren't the floor slabs kind of "self-supporting"? It doesn't feel like the house would collapse right away no matter which wall you remove...
