Pregnancy - Third Trimester

Brad did a lot of poking and prodding upstairs, looked outside at the structure, and in the basement etc. and determined that the wall between the two bedrooms upstairs is not a load-bearing wall. I will attempt to expand upon that, but I am not sure of some of the terminology (or if I am using it correctly). Essentially, the upstairs roof is being supported by the exterior walls (not from the interior). The upstairs floor is providing support to the exterior walls (to keep them from caving in, I guess). Brad pointed out a few things that helped make this determination: 1) the design/shape of the original portion of the house, 2) the type of roof (the type of trusses, not the outside roof), 3) the fact that the wall is not on-center with the roof and a few other things that I can't remember. Also, he suggested bringing back the corner of the current nursery closet to be flush with the back wall of the closet (open the nursery up some more). Brad also confirmed that all other ideas that we had will work and made some suggestions on the electrical. Brian decided to start some of the tear down this weekend. He doesn't want to waste these last few days off. The plaster did eventually thaw out, and Brian said that it is now about the same consistency as it originally was.
