Looked at a job on the way home tonight, lady wants a wall between two
landing cupboards removed.

She reckoned it wasn't structural, but seeing as though she was a dental
nurse & AFAIK they are not trained in this area, I told her to get it
checked out by a structural engineer.

Strange though - effectively its a partition between two adjacent cupboards,
but its a solid wall.

Looked in the loft & the joists run at right angles to the wall, but you
can't see the top of the wall, only plasterboard, so the ceiling must have
been plasterboarded before the wall was erected. Even stranger, there is no
wall underneath it, just the kitchen.

Why would they build a solid wall, with no support under, just to divide two
cupboards?
