It seems my catalogue of disasters is growing daily...
Today i begin stripping the living room wallpaper to discover that the original doorway to hall has been filled in and replaced by a square opening about 1.8m to the left.
The replacement "square," was next subject to a door being botched into the middle of the square along with two bits of wood, then the wood wall papered over.
I am really worried that this could be a supporting wall
the floor boards on the floors above and below run parallel to the will in question... the joists are therefore perpendicular.
A guy in the DIY shop told me it is nothing to worry about, and that a door would not have been in that wall if it was supporting - is this correct? Seems a bit odd to me.
