How do I know if my single story house made of bricks has concrete (reinforced) columns?
To start with, there isn’t an inkling of a chance that your house has RCC’s in the wall. They will be framed with 2″ x 4″ x 93″ studs with a single 2×4 bottom plate and a double 2×4 top plate. Second, as someone said above that the center wall was load bearing is far from likely also. No one stick builds the roof framing any more. They are going to be truss that can run from one exterior wall to the other. I’d bet my contractors licence on it if I still had it but sadly to say I am now disabled. But now, we get down to what you are talking about doing. You didn’t tell us so no one here can tell you what to do. It sounds like you intend on adding a door or something on an exterior wall and that could get messy if done wrong. E-mail me and I’ll be more than happy to tell you where you stand.
