Hi,
I'm 99 percent sure this wall has no load on it but wanted to see if it was obvious before I took it down or if I should get someone in to check.
This stud runs parallel with the joists and is screwed into noggins not the actual joists.
Originally I thought the bathroom wall which also runs parallel was on the right hand joist of picture two but after measuring it out the bathroom wall is on the joist next to that.
Picture one is looking up at the stud where you can see the three noggins it is screwed into.
Picture two is taken from the same side but looking down parallel to the joists where you can see a joist either side and the noggins
Picture three is looking from the other side of the wall so the joist on the left is the joist on the right in picture two the joist on the right here with the bolts is part of the landing/has the bathroom wall on top just beyond those bolts is another joists
Picture four shows the joist beyond the bolts which the bathroom wall sits on so this isn't near the stud I want to take out.
Picture five was taken a bit back from picture three and four and show plates which I'm assuming tie in joists for the landing these do hang off the joist on the right in picture one.
In my head I can't see how a stud on noggins would be holding a load but from reading some of the stories about 1950's houses on here they can throw some spanners in the works haha
Thanks,
Ash
