Don't Try this at Home
In my over 25 years as a remodeling contractor, I’ve seen lots of homeowners get excited about a project and rush right in without thinking it through. An example was the couple that tried their own weekend makeover by removing a wall between their kitchen and breakfast room to open it up a bit. Needless to say, we got an urgent phone call Monday morning about the sudden “sag” in the ceiling. So before you get out the sledgehammer, make sure you know which walls are weight-bearing. And don’t forget, there might be other stuff in that wall too like electrical wires, so proceed with caution.
