hiya. i am thinking of bidding on a house, but i would want to move a wall. there is a wall that goes from the front wall of the house to a doorway, and the wall is about 3 feet wide. it is perpendicular with the front wall of the house. it is between the livingroom and bedroom. it connects from the front wall to the bedroom doorway. i want keep the wall, but i want to move it about 3 feet farther away from the bedroom, thus making the bedroom a little bigger (giving it a sort of alcove) and the livingroom a little smaller. it is a one floor house and there is no electrical in that wall. how can i tell if i can move it (without the roof falling in), and how hard would it be to move it (or, more likely, knock it down and rebuild 3 feet to the left), and what would the steps be?
thanks home improvement folks!
this house has no ductwork (no forced hot air, WARM climate), and there is no electricity in this wall. when i was a kid, my dad knocked down the wall between the living room and the garage, so it can be done. so, though i thank you for your response, racedayvynls, i prefer a “can-do” attitude.:)
Aliya, what are you new? Or just, um, like the post I am trying to move?
Duh girlfirend, duh.
