We have started a renovation at home and are in the process of removing a wall between the kitchen and dining room.
The wall marked in red is on its way out. The roof trusses go in the opposite direction of the wall.
A few acquaintances have been here, saying that it can't possibly be load-bearing. It is far too thin, and there are no studs by the roof trusses that go down to the floor.
The house was built in 1955. Single story. The distance between the interior walls is about 6100mm, so I assume the roof trusses are that long.
Attaching some pictures of the drawings and how the wall looks.
The wall looks like a partition, but at this span I would use a joist to prevent the ceiling from cracking in the face of its displacements. Another thing you should look at is the lack of ceiling insulation!
So you mean that the wall doesn't seem to be load-bearing but it might be good to have something supporting the trusses anyway due to the long span of about 6100mm, so that potential ceiling drywall doesn't crack? Am I interpreting you correctly then? English is not my strong suit.
We are aware that there is no insulation and will fix that eventually
