  • Hacking apart a box room in the loft, to remove the water damaged plaster (header tank leak some time ago). As I was doing this I’m considering moving the wall back into the eaves a little more to create a slightly bigger box room which will allow a bigger skylight (as there are no windows!).

    But, then it occurred to me that the vertical studs might be loading bearing for roof support. Is this a thing? And if so would moving them back a foot or two make any difference. Below the studs is not a load bearing wall.

    (confidently) Yes

    moving them back a foot or two make any difference<

    out of my remit,
    but the supports look like they've been modded moved from what you'd expect - thing is it sounds like an idea good enough to pursue ..
