    Are these walls load bearing?

    If there is not a lintel above the doorway in wall A, can this wall be holding any weight? All that is present is the timber frame lining and the doorway comprises the entire width of wall A.

    Possible to fix this as a DIY job?

    The porch was actually done by professionals hired by the past owner. Not knowing much about porches we didn't notice all these little things and are noticing now :( so many botch jobs throughout the house so we are trying to correct as much as possible ourselves.

    Are these walls load bearing?

    Hi, It's a 1950s house. We've had someone round today who seems to think B can be taken down but before A is taken down a joist hanger will be needed. I'm not sure what makes a top plate or wall plate, but @bobasd only wall A seems to have a top plate? The wood plate is only on top of wall A and...
