In this video series I will show the step by step process for converting a 1/2 bath into a full bath by adding a shower. Here is a link to part 3 • Converting a 1/2 Bath ...
Great video as always. Very informative. I am sorta surprised that you didn't use a sledge hammer. I take plenty pictures of all the projects that I work on, just cause I have a weird memory and I'm unsure of exactly when I'm working on that particular part of the project again
There are plenty of places I could have used a sledge hammer for sure, just didn't have it with me. Taking pictures is always a good idea. Thanks for watching.
First stop was in the basement. the walls in the basement were running perpendicular to the wall that was being removed. The support beam was running in a different spot so that is where the load gets transferred. Also a quick look in the attic could give some idea of where the load bearing wall is. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching.
Interesting project, how did you decide that the wall was not a supporting wall? I believe you meant metal cutting blade not a metal blade. Keep up the good work looking forward to the finished project.
You can tell that the wall is not a "supporting" wall by looking in the basement. The span of the joists goes from side to side, so IF it were a load bearing wall then it would be running 90 degrees from the joists. Sometimes it's hard to tell but in this home it was very easy. Stay tuned and I'll talk about it in an upcoming episode. Yeah I mean metal blade, what else would I use? lol. Thanks for watching.
Thx for the clear detail of the job. Very helpful
Thanks for watching

How did you know or figure that all the walls you are removing/condensing aren't load bearing?
