Making open concept
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2017 2:06 am
Hey everyone, first thanks for the amazing amount of information.
We own a double wide 24x50. Have started peeling back paneling to begin some demo/Reno. We want to cut half the wall down between the kitchen and living area to create better flow.
Now the question I have is being close to the marriage line would this wall serve any bearing purpose? It starts just inside and tapers away from the marriage line at a 35-40 degree angle. Half of the top plate isn't even touching the ceiling. I will be leaving a bit of a column as to keep light switch and rewire to have one outlet available being power runs from the attic.
It won't let me post the photo's from my phone hope these links work.
