>>1902477There's probably a better board for this but how the hell do you know when a wall should or shouldn't be load bearing? How do you know how thick to make it? I looked it up and it was a little confusing, not to mention just going "I'll just make it the thickest in this chart" gets expensive quickly. Not related to /out/ at all, but I'm drawing up floorplans and it just happens to be related enough that I figured I'd ask here. I don't go on many other boards, especially not ones that are specific enough where something like this would be a common question (maybe /diy/?).
I hope to be able to actually build off of these floorplans one day, which will be innawoods. Fucking around with this design from the ground up, I hope to one day build it and live in it. Also happens to potentially be a cabin design. If not a log cabin design, I'll go with brick or wood siding (partial cabin look). If I don't find out soon, I suppose I can just find someone willing to help modify the design until it won't collapse under its own weight when I do go to build it. I've already planned the walls out to be far too thick (~3 feet to give leeway when I was in the middle of designing) and am now in the process of bringing them towards their actual width now that I know what shape the rooms will be and how big.
I don't have the money right now; this is just me fucking around with a potential floorplan I may one day have enough money to build, at least partially. Honestly willing to live in a trailer on whatever land I buy until I complete it.
Pic mildly related.
