Hello all skilled builders and DIY enthusiasts!
I have a wall that I believe should be a load-bearing wall. The problem with the wall is that it is mostly built of clay and construction waste, which after about 120 years is starting to fall apart. I plan to initially just remove the clay, and hopefully, there will be some form of vertical studs in the wall that can remain for now.
If I apply weight to the wall sideways, it easily bends a few centimeters. What do you think, is it load-bearing and do you think it's "safe" to remove the clay?
