I want to install a pocket door in the framing on one side of my
basement steps but am not sure if the wall is load bearing or not. The
framing on the side of the steps has a vertical stud every 16 inches.
There is a double joist that runs along the top of the step wall
studs. I want to turn two of the studs sideways to make room for the
door. Anyone see any problems with this?
Thanks
John
