Tear down wall, load-bearing or not?

[HannahW]

Hello knowledgeable people!

We bought a house a year ago and now the wall is coming down! (I say!)

It's a one-story house with a basement.

Previously, there was an opening here (see yellow marking) but it has been moved, as you can see.
Now I want to open up more, but can I do it without major work? (Blue marking)
The lintel runs along the entire wall from wall to wall, V-truss above (green marking).
The idea is to keep the "top edge" by the door as it is today along the entire "new" opening.
What we think we see below is the old floor, but we're unsure.

Do you understand me?
We don't have access to the original drawings, only the ones that came with the sale.

Hello everyone knowledgeable!

It is a single-story house with a basement.

Previously there was an opening here (see yellow marking) but it has been moved, as you can see.
Now I want to open up more, but can I do it without major intervention? (Blue marking)
The lintel runs along the entire wall from wall to wall, V-roof truss above (green marking).
The idea is to keep the "top edge" by the door as it is today along the entire "new" opening.
What we think we see below is the old floor, but we're unsure.

Which wall on the floor plan is it?
When was the house built?
Have you checked if the municipality's building permit department has any drawings from when the house received its building permit?

Do you mean the ridge when you write roof beam?
Do you have a picture of the roof trusses?

I recommend you to open the wall, remove the boards and råspont or whatever it is for cladding on one side of the wall so that you can see inside the wall..

I forgot to mention that, of course!
It's about the wall between the kitchen and the living room. We want to open it up so the doorway becomes larger, towards the hallway, if you will. Yellow is the old doorway, now it's being moved, and the red is where we want to open more.
I'll post a better picture below 😃

I recommend that you open the wall, remove the panels and raw boards or whatever the cladding is on one side of the wall so that you can see inside the wall..

Since it's different on each side.
One is a thin chipboard and the other is a thicker fiberboard, does it matter which one, or is there something I should consider?

The house was built in '62 ☺️

 

[Jansson69]

Because it varies on each side.

No, it doesn't matter..

 

[HannahW]

No, it doesn't matter..

So far, I've torn up this little. There is an air gap between the walls.

 

[BirgitS]

Is it an element or modular house?
They have a specific type of construction, and it might not be possible to determine in a forum what can be done with the wall.

If not, it was common to have truss rafters in -62, and then no interior walls on the floor beneath the attic are load-bearing.

Hittills rivit upp det här lilla. Det är en luftspalt mellan väggarn in a constructor/building engineer, it doesn’t cost many thousands to get an expert opinion and feel secure. Think about the expense like this: with how big

I had considered bringing in a constructor/building engineer to get an expert opinion, it doesn't cost many thousands. Then you'll also know if and how you should reinforce. Alternatively, get a quotation from a construction company and hear what they think about the wall.

I find it helps to think about bidding and how each increase felt then, 20,000 here and 40,000 there. Then some of these expenses become easier to bear.

Yes, it wasn't easy to see, in which direction are the roof trusses positioned according to the drawing?
Do you have pictures of the roof trusses in the attic so we can see how they're made and what type?
