Hello! I've thoroughly read through this forum about load-bearing walls and haven't found my answer, so I became a member and hope someone can help me The wall is about 2m long. It's open up to the ceiling, so you can see the beam in the middle the whole way.
I'm in the process of buying an extended summer house and would like to make some changes to the layout but am unsure if any of the walls might be load-bearing. Here I attach the drawing and technical description
Really! You could probably get through a winter there with very little energy consumption
By the way, what do you think about additional insulation? I'm thinking of replacing 50mm with new and then adding 95mm on top of that, and new paneling, standing instead. Is it too little or will it last a few winters? The weather is quite mild down here in Skåne. The days with below zero temperatures can be counted on one hand. Mainly thinking about not having to extend the eaves, etc.
The plan is to demolish and build a new larger house after a few years, so you don't want to spend too much money on renovation. By the way, the cottage has been expanded since the drawing I uploaded. There's a new room where the terrace to the west used to be, and where the utility terrace was, there is now an extension with a room. Just haven't gotten hold of any drawings for that yet.
The house/cottage is 70 square meters including the extensions. There is already an air heat pump, electric heaters, and a fireplace, so it should be possible to keep it warm with a 145 insulation?
