Wall Move and Structural Support in Question
Im starting a kitchen renovation, and want to move my fridge out here to increase space in my small kitchen.
To put the fridge out, i would need to remove the dark wood pillars. Shown in picture # 4 Can anyone advise if this could be an issue? They are resting on flooring between joists. Basment pic # 6.
I also want to move in the feather wall as shown by the arrow in picture #5.
There is support for the 2x16 joist which appears to support the 2nd story floor where the flooring joists change directions shown in pic #2 . It rests between joists on the 1st floor shown to my best in pic #6 and #3 , can anyone tell me how/why they are getting away with no stud support in basement?
I dont understand how the structural support is working!
What would you all do!?
