Hi, I am in the process of tearing down an interior wall in a single-story house. After a while, I became doubtful if the wall is load-bearing or non-load-bearing. The wall is between the family room and the living room. I appreciate your tips and advice. Best regards, bokani
The wall is narrow on the drawing, then it "usually" is not load-bearing, the outer walls, which are thicker on the drawing, are load-bearing.
Then you only see a framework for screwing in panels, I don't see anything load-bearing in the wall.
I don't know if anyone else has a different opinion.

Hello, I have some drawings that I don't understand at all. I'm sending the pictures. Regards, Bokani[image] [image] [image] [image]
I have asked one of the forum's experts on building construction to look at this thread, but of course, I don't know if he has time. With that type of trusses, I don't dare to guess.

Thank you so much, I hope he has the time to take a look at it. Best regards, bokani
The trusses seem to run across the house, so the wall you want to tear down runs parallel to the trusses. Therefore, the wall does not support part of the roof structure. However, the wall might serve as support for the inner ceiling. How much can you see in the attic? Do you have insulation on the inner ceiling?

The roof paneling is nailed to the trusses. I looked in the attic and above the interior walls is the truss, spacing is 120. I removed the moldings that hide both the joints and the nails. You can see in the pictures. Regards, bokani
