Hi all,
I've been a long term lurker, but first time poster, and was hoping one of the experts could offer some advice on a project I'm thinking about starting!
We have a double size garage (not attached to the house) with a pitched roof, built approx. 10 years ago when the house was built... but it was divided by the original builders into a workshop and single garage by a breeze block dividing wall, with two courses of standard bricks underneath.
I'd like to take this wall down to get back to a double garage.
It does not look to have any load bearing element to me (it does not go up as high as the rafters, and does not look particularly attached at any point apart from the gap to walk through), but I wanted to check that this type of wall did not serve any other purpose (e.g. to support between front and back walls) before I just knocked it over
Some pics that might make this clearer:
Any help appreciated as always!
Thanks in advance,
RM
