How To Remove a Non-Load Bearing Wall

[ILIKHATERZ]

Finally! The builder screwed up my office and put a wall coming into the my far side of my office, now it’s just wasted space! Structural engineer said that’s not load bearing it’s just a framed wall with empty space behind it, with the wood floor that the builder installed. Thanks for the video 😎✌️

This dude is my favorite. Canadians are the best. I like how detailed he is and how he hammers down the nails as he removes things.

What I like about you is how clean and tidy you are with the renovation. I’ve been to sites where you have to watch where you step or you end up with nails in your feet or getting cut on rubbish. I also like how methodical you are and how you show how to do things. Great work🌸🌼🦋

I’m facing removing a wall and a closet next month. I used to be all gung ho about remodeling but these days I’m more careful because mistakes can cost big time. Thanks for the excellent work and I’m looking forward to rather than dreading this change.

Shannon is amazing. As a teacher myself, I'm impressed with his thoroughness and clarity. Thanks for all your help over the years!

This helped a ton. I was able to remove a wall all by myself and save $600. Thank you.

Thanks for being so methodical and clear in your directions. You have helped me through several successful DIY home projects so far. I appreciate the tutorials!!

This is great. I'm removing my first wall tomorrow (having carefully determined it wasn't load-bearing) and you've boosted my confidence considerably. Thanks, dude.

Thanks for being genuine. A Junior DIY like myself is reassured of some of the challenges faced when doing something that seems simple and straight forward.

Satisfying to watch someone who is good at their job doing what they do.

I just removed a wall and I had no idea how to remove that double top plate. I knew it would be a tough job and your video provided those steps that I needed to complete the task!

I can’t believe I finally stumbled onto a youtube channel that is going to help me tremendously. I’m tearing out a wall between two walk in closets and this helped me so much. Thanks and I subscribed. I will be using many more of your videos in the future in particular your bathroom remodel videos. Thanks again!

I said all that to say this, I am happy to see video.  I am a licensed female contractor and I started a project where I wanted to open a room.  I am doing it by myself with no help just knowledge and watching the other guys do the work.   Since seeing the video I am on the right track.  I am watching your other videos!

A general contractor is charging us $8, 500 to have our non loadbearing wall removed. Said we still need support beams and to redistribute the weight even if it’s non loadbearing. Has anyone else ever been told this? My wife and I plan to do it ourselves. $8, 500 seems way too expensive. This video is a huge help.

One of the best channels out there, thanks so much. Your instructions are perfect, and you have a great ability to teach and explain things. Thanks again!

Best basic video you can watch. Most people have a sticky stuck moment. But you show the base which is a Great building block (punt intended). Thx. Hope you have a great week.

[adriennemuscat]

We love your videos. You give us the courage to tackle all this work on our own. Bonus points for being Canadian!

I put a beam in my house but mine was load bearing. Its crazy that they notched the beam too. Great Video's Shannon keep it up if your in the trades you can always learn something new.

When I have a question about improvements on my Old House I watch Shannon's YouTube site. What a blessing. Thanks Shannon
