A bit hard to explain this:
The long side of the house is about 5+5 m where 5 m is about 1 m further out (so a small angle).
If I am going to move the wall out so that the wall has no angle (I am building out with 1x5 m), how does it affect the "load-bearing capacity"? Can you extend the roof beams and truss so that the new wall becomes load-bearing, or do you install a glulam beam by the old exterior wall and let the extension become a "freestanding" structure?
Thankful for an answer

But I do have some professional machines? then it should work, right? 
Joking aside, I was just interested in knowing how to solve it, then some trained person can take care of the actual dimensioning and construction.
But if you have a correct drawing, you should be able to fix it without a tradesman if you're careful, right?

Yes, you can probably handle it yourself/with a little help. A construction engineer will give you a drawing with everything you need to know. Then some props and a little common sense, and provided the thumb isn't in the wrong place, it should go just fine.fein said:But I do have some professional machines? then it should be possible, right?

But if you have the correct drawing, shouldn't you be able to fix it without a craftsman if you're careful?
