How do I determine which walls are weight bearing?
Suggested Project Book
The best way is to have a professional check it out for you. That's something you don't want to take a chance on since that's what holding up the house. Even if it's a load bearing wall, it can be removed but, the ceiling needs to be supported while beams are installed. That is definitely the job for a pro.
These websites can help if you want to do it yourself, but having it checked anyway is always best.
