Bearing Walls


Posted by JL on July 25th, 2003 10:19 AM

I live in an older home and am trying to figure out which interior walls are bearing walls. Is it a general rule that the bearing walls are perpendicular to the floor joists?

Also, would the floor joist for the first floor run in the same direction as the floor joist for the second floor? Would they ever be perpendicular?

Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
