House built in -38.
Two stories + attic.
I wish to demolish what I first thought was a non-load-bearing wall towards stairs down to the furnished part of the basement. Upon removing the surface layer, I see that the wall consists of tongue-and-groove 47*148 lumber from one side and some thinner variant on the opposite side, which makes me ponder.
What do you think?
According to the few and heavily damaged documents on the house's construction, I can see that the floor is supported by a load-bearing wall along the center of the house.
47x148 are 2x6 inch planks. That doesn't necessarily mean the wall is load-bearing. It is the material that most of the interior walls in the house are made of. If it is the wall that runs along one side of the stairs parallel to the exterior wall, I can already say that it is not load-bearing.

I hear what you're saying. 2x6 is on one side, then a little gap and half-inch spontaneous timber on the other side. Yes, it is the wall that runs parallel to the stairs. No wall runs along this one on the basement floor.
