Load-bearing wall?

[bmwsteffo]

Can someone look at these drawings to see if the marked wall is load-bearing? The plan is to take down the wall to create a larger hallway.

It seems very unlikely that it would be supportive.

It is not load-bearing. If you look at the basement level, you have the heart wall there towards the boiler room and laundry room. The wall on the next floor that is above the heart wall is load-bearing. So, not the one you want to tear down.

I agree with the previous thread responder;

A load-bearing wall normally goes across the direction of the roof trusses. And this one is in line with the trusses and should not pose any problems in your case...

From my phrasing, you can deduce that I do not know for sure, and if you want to be absolutely sure, you should speak with a structural engineer...

ok thanks for the answers I knew that the wall across from the rafters was load-bearing but was wondering if perhaps there were more load-bearing ones. the wall I am going to take down is 7cm thick but it's an old house and all the walls are thick

Saw off all but one, that one you cut with a handsaw... if it pinches, there's pressure on it...
