Hi,
I'm planning to install a window in the kitchen and can't figure out whether the exterior wall is load-bearing or not. The window is 18x6.
I don't need a building permit for the window but must submit a building notice if the wall is load-bearing.
It would be great if someone could determine the situation so I know whether I can start building or need to file a building notice.
What determines that it is not load-bearing?
The truss in the gable visible in the pictures looks different compared to the others visible on the drawing. Is it still free-standing and resting only on the long sides? Does it look different because it bears a smaller part of the roof and because the facade should be attached to it?
It's probably just because the window is there. In the middle, it looks like there's a pole. Leave it as it is, but it's not where you've drawn in the window.
