Was watching a wall tearing down video and got me confused to the comments if load bearing walls... We have stone build houses in my state. So never saw the inside of walls in a wood house to understand this thing. Who knows, maybe I'd tear down major support and that got me to your video. Thanks for the clearly quick explained concept of wall bearing.

Still have to be careful with interior walls that r non bearing because their support for exterior walls on the premiter of the house but also you could use a steel wire from exterior wall hooked up to another interior wall, this would still give support for the exterior wall

Ok what if my ceiling joists are not spliced over a wall. And I’ve got 2 purlin braces sitting on a flat 2x4 that’s stretched on top and across the ceiling joists maybe a foot from the wall I want to remove. Am I ok or is the wall indirectly helping to support the purlin braces

@justinkemeter 6 жыл бұрын

Oh and ceiling joists are 2x6 20” on center. Span table says 12’10” and room measures 12’. Thanks for any help given you tubers!

I have a question. I am new to all this but I’m trying to learn. I have vaulted ceilings. There is a partial wall that separates my kitchen and my living room. The wall doesn’t reach all the way to the ceiling, but there is a beam attached to the wall that does reach the ceiling. I wanted to remove that wall including the beam. How can I tell if that beam is load bearing? Because of the vaulted ceiling, it’s hard to crawl up in the attic to that area.

Kate R remove the wall and if the house begins to make funny noises and starts to sag then u will know.

Hello, what about walls parallel to a ceiling joist. Can they be load bearing too?

@jhulcy15 7 жыл бұрын

Walls with parallel ceiling joist on both sides can still be load bearing if the purlin braces land on them. If no bracing lands on them, then most likely not load bearing Jason Hulcy

@allanpennington 7 жыл бұрын

Great thanks, I assume that if a purlin brace is used then this would be a point load where it lands on the wall top plate, and thus as long as this is maintained through a stud to the floor then portions of the wall either side of this stud could be removed?

@jhulcy15 7 жыл бұрын

Either that or relocate the brace to another location.

Ha of course, never thought of that, so much for thinking I was capable of lateral thought! Thanks for your replies. Cheers

Not something to be proud of cause if you need to knock sown a wall you need to put a beam to support it. My house has no load barring walls therefore i could knock anything down with no issue

Well, that’s how to identify only ONE of MANY load-bearing-wall scenarios. This fact should have been included here.

I don't know who invented load bearing walls.. they are so stupid. Why don't they just make them all non load bearing so you can remove and reconfigure them as needed?
