question on removing a wall
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2011 3:58 pm
We are working on removing the wall between our living room and a bedroom on the same side of a double wide mobile home. We are not removing any of the center support walls, but this wall does butt up against one of the support areas. Tearing off the paneling and sheetrock on one side of the wall we are removing we have located the wires and have a plan for those, but just want a second opinion before we go further. The wall is just under 12 feet long.
The wall is made up of only 1x4 and the ceiling continues thru and the walls are paneled behind the 1x4's as they put the wall up afterwards.
We are planning on running two 2x4's on end over the top and down the side just for continued support and would actually be more support then is there.
I will post some pictures, but have to figure out how to get the pictures posted.
