Hi guys, Im a Chippy from way back and have recently moved into a newish 2 storey house. The downstairs room I had ear marked for the Home Theatre has a 1m nib jutting out into the room that needs to be removed. This morning I removed the gyprock off 1 side and noticed that the nib goes through the floor with a double bottom plate, not a good sign. I cut a hole in the ceiling and 1 of the trusses is sitting half on the top plate running in the same direction as the nib. What I cant work out is if and why it is load bearing. If it was span load bearing, the trusses would be going in the other direction and theres nothing on the floor above it to be transferring any load from above. If my explanation is hard to follow I'll try and get some photos together.
I look forward to any comments
Chris
