Load-bearing walls?

[hugoaronzon]

Hello,
facing renovation where, among other things, the floor plan will be changed in an LB-house from 1973.
The interior walls to be taken down are marked in red.
New interior walls in green.
I interpret the technical description as if there shouldn't be any issues, but still wanted to check with those who know.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello!
Just wondering if you got any answer on whether any of the walls were load-bearing? We also have an LB house from 1973, just like yours but mirrored. We plan to remove the wall between the kitchen and the hall and are also wondering if it is load-bearing? That particular wall was one of those you marked in red! Grateful for a response!
Best regards,

The trusses theoretically do not need the interior walls for support but tend to settle a bit over the years.

Otherwise, you can do as I did with a house with the same type of trusses, dragged in a glulam beam to the attic and placed it on top of the trusses and connected with fittings so that the trusses without wall support underneath could hang from the beam instead.

This way, you can have a completely flat ceiling.

The trusses are self-supporting, but I would probably have placed a beam instead of the long wall in the living room. Old houses settle and are not necessarily as strong as they are in "theory." The other walls are not a problem to remove.

Bumping this thread a bit... I've done the same thing as you but I'm wondering if I should reinforce in the attic. My roof hasn't settled at all yet anyway.
