Hi, I was hoping someone could give me a rough idea of what a contractor would charge for a job like this.
The wall is 11 - 1/2 feet, between the dining room and kitchen. The house, built in 1955, has no basement, or second story, and is only
975 sq ft.. Since the kitchen and dining room are fairly small, this would really open up the house and improve the floor plan, imho.I'm fairly sure the wall is load bearing. Not only do the joists run perpendicular, but the joists 'meet' directly above the wall. There is no plumbing in the wall, and the only wiring is a light switch for the kitchen light.
While the house is structurally sound, it needs a fair amount of updating. I can do a lot of the work myself, but wouldn't even _think_ about touching this!
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
