Hello!
I hope someone with knowledge wants to look at my concern.
I plan to remove some walls to make the kitchen (which will be torn out and replaced with a new one at the same time) larger and achieve a more open floor plan. But I started to wonder if the walls are load-bearing since they cross the roof trusses? But maybe the house still holds even if something I remove/shorten is load-bearing?
A picture says more than 1000 words so I am linking to a few.

None of the walls should be load-bearing, the truss from the front door to the toilet probably has no support, but it's hard to say since it's unclear how the trusses were calculated.
