Johny:
J There's this wall in my cottage that is covered in plasterboard but the J wall itself is made of 2x2 timber posts. Could this be a supporting J wall ? I'm thinking not but won't say no for certain without additional information. 2x2 seems under the standard: usually walls use 2x4's where load-bearing or not. 2x2's may have been used to create a wall after your cottage was built: someone divided a huge room. If this wall does not have any electrical in it may be a clue. Load-bearing walls are usually in the center, running the length of the building. There can be minor interruptions: we have a pass- through to get into the Living Room. In the basement the support posts are under this wall. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * Buy ladders longer than you think you'll need. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |
