Hello, first post here.
I wanted to ask something, I bought my first house and we've started fixing up the hallway. All the walls on the lower floor are made of concrete. However, there is one wall with doors that is not. A storage/closet by the entrance. It consists of three layers of boards like this:
And here's a picture of our wall:
Do you think this is something that can be torn down?
Best regards
The closet walls are definitely not load-bearing. This can be deduced from the blueprint. However, I question the claim that the other walls would be concrete. That is quite unlikely. Possibly aerated concrete or concrete hollow block. Please let me know when the house was built and what its facade material is.
No, I didn't think it looked like that according to the drawings either, but I became curious when I saw that the wall continued a bit above the ceiling in the hall as per the picture.
No, it's probably not concrete, I don't know the difference in materials so I just guessed. The house is from 1950. 1.5-story with a basement.
1950 was a turning point in terms of small house construction, one cannot be entirely sure which methods were used. However, there is no doubt about the status of your closet walls.
