I am tearing out my old bathroom and am considering what is load-bearing and what is not. In the pictures below, you can see where the rafters go (one picture marked with silver tape :) and in the other, it's visible with nails and joints in the ceiling).

The house has a 45-degree roof pitch with a raised wall. Adjacent rooms have "kattvindar" which I believe are part of the load-bearing structure. I have torn out enough to see that there is no beam relieving these two rafters.

Do you think I should create a header for the rafters since I've already "stripped away" everything, or should I leave it as it is?

  • Interior of a dismantled bathroom showing attic trusses with a slanted roof and exposed beams, highlighted with tape to indicate structural elements.
