I only watched this to see how to get the top plate off lol
Great job! Love to see more videos from Ashlee & Cody! Thanks!
Is is safe to say that if the wall is parallel to
The joists, it’s not load bearing?
i hate when there's a dern wall in the way
How do u remove an outlet that right in the center and likely giving power to another outlet that u are not removing
My mom's doing it right, she's using a cutter to edge the wall so the frame would come down
Funny boy how things are

Most walls aren’t wood paneling though. I’m trying to find out what to do with drywall
You never said what you did with the electric!!
Said everything except how to remove the wall.
You don't use drywall in tornado alley flood plain dumb accent town huh?
Please don’t advise DIYers on how to determine if a wall is load bearing. Very cheap price to hire a structural engineer to make an assessment versus the possible danger and damage caused by improperly removing a load bearing wall.
My god. Ive been looking rehab home videos all week and no one goes into detail. No one mentions load bearing walls. No talks about checking voltage. Its just a bunch of people glossing over important information.
old houses had many walls because Parents had many children and Parents needed boundaries
Hey! What design ideas do you have for the top plate when removing the load bearing wall? We are removing a nice beam and looking for other ideas! Thank you!
Nice Work!
I’m in the process of purchasing a house in Indiana. And I’m gonna need all the skill I can to help me reconstruct the house.

You look like siblings 😊
Awesome can you show us how to widen a doorway?
I want to know what he ended up doing with that top plate later
Great video . Can you be hired to do similar work in a home?
