I'll venture up into the attic and evaluate before giving Jessica and her hammer the green light. ;-)Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843204685450175996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487277177832249919.post-80599787905529140792009-06-05T16:37:51.481-04:002009-06-05T16:37:51.481-04:00It's not the easiest to explain.

If the attic floor joists are resting on that wall, there's a pretty good chance it's a supporting wall, especially if you have one coming from either side and they meet above that wall. If that wall is taken away, they would come together & fall down. Check to see if there's some kind of beam above that wall that's resting on the wall. Pretty much, you just look to see that if you took out the wall, would everything fall or would it be okay.dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918533700585578735noreply@blogger.com
