Hello,
I have a kithchen with an 8 ft. original ceiling. There was an addition made at some point adjacent to the kitchen but the ceiling of the addition is about a foot lower, although there is an old ceiling above that that looks like it was also 8ft.
I'd like to remove about a 3.5 ft piece of wall between the kitchen and this addition to open things up.
Is it a safe bet that the actual supporting beam is where the wall meets the original 8ft ceiling and not where the lower ceiling is and I can therefore remove this piece of wall without having to put in a supporting beam in this supporting wall?
Any thoughts, comments and/or advice appreciated greatly.
Thanks,
