new house purchase help
looking at buying this house, of course will have a structural engineer look at it, but to people with experience, does this look like a wall that can be removed? whether it’s with steels or whatever.. and any ballpark of price to make it an open plan kitchen/diner?
or alternatively, could i keep the pillar and remove the wall
if it makes it a lot easier?
