Hi all,
I've contacted several structural engineers over the past few weeks to determine whether a wall is load-bearing, but no one has gotten back to me. We're looking to remove a section of a wall separating our kitchen and living room. We would leave the header in place and there would be ~8ft between studs. Our house is a 1960's split-level home with a truss system supporting the roof. I took a photo in the attic and have marked approximately where the wall currently is.
Because it's a truss roof and the wall is not directly underneath any of the supports, is it fair to say it's not load bearing?
Cheers
