Is this a Load Bearing Wall?
I understand it would be difficult to definitively tell me if a wall is load bearing or not through pictures, but any thoughts would be appreciated. The wall in question is the one on the right. It runs perpendicular to the ceiling joists.
- Ceiling joists run from outside wall to outside wall. They do not overlap.
- House is stick frame - no trusses.
- House is approximately 15 ft wide.
- Wall is offset by at least one foot from the beam under the floor joist.
- Top plate is two 2x4s
- The living room goes from outside wall to outside wall and has no supporting wall.
- The header above the door does not appear to be load bearing.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
