I'm in the process of building a wardrobe for a bedroom and encountered a bit of an issue. I want to tear down a wall, and when I exposed the wall, I became unsure if it might be load-bearing. The wall is built with tongue-and-groove 45x170 that extends from the ceiling down through the floor (as it appears). The wall is at a right angle to the attic's floor joists, which made me even more skeptical.
There doesn't seem to be any significant load on the boards as they flex when I tap them lightly.
There are already cut-out "wardrobes" in other parts of the wall.
I am attaching drawings and hope someone can offer some wise insights.
The images are shown in the following order:
2nd floor (where the wall is)
1st floor
Basement
Lower part of the wall towards the floor
Upper part of the wall towards the ceiling
