Load-bearing wall

[Susanne P]

Have a house built in '61 and am a little unsure if there is a load-bearing wall in the house.

Hello Susanne and welcome to the Byggahus forum!

The likelihood of that is high, but it cannot be determined without at least a floor plan. An exterior photo of the house also says quite a lot.

Thank you
Looks like this

A single-story house from '61 with storage in the attic, then it depends on the type of roof trusses the house has. If the roof trusses look like this the wall/walls in the middle of the house in the direction of the roof ridge are load-bearing. If the roof trusses look like this, there are no load-bearing interior walls.

Filmed in the attic to show what it looks like

 

[justusandersson]

Yes, they are trusses of the W type. They are self-supporting between the outer walls. This means that no interior walls are load-bearing.
