On the upper floor, there are no load-bearing partition walls at all because you have truss roof beams. Plank walls are not normally found in houses built in 1954. There is much that seems to deviate from the norm. The type of wall you just described is usually only found in garden sheds and similar structures. So, all drawings on the table before we continue the discussion.

The technical description is just above, and besides the section, there are facade drawings and this one. It is the red wall I want to open up, and it is built as I described and as you can see in the close-up I photographed in an old door opening.J justusandersson said:On the upper floor, there are no load-bearing partition walls at all because you have truss rafters.

If it really is as the section drawing shows that the house has W-trusses (i.e., frameworks), then no interior walls on the upper floor are load-bearing.
