REMOVING A LOAD BEARING WALL | Joshua Tree Cabin Renovation

May 2, 2022

Uncategorized

Today I’m taking out a load bearing wall dividing the kitchen and living space in my Joshua Tree Cabin. The ceiling joists are spliced where the wall was, so I added a header or a “strongback” in the attic to make sure the ceiling doesn’t sag. This project was fun and opening up the space made a huge difference. I’ve got more content in this series on the way! Make sure to subscribe!

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I’m a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I’ve focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
