Load bearing studs?
Hi Everyone,
So I want to completely open up this closet and put up hooks for coats. Are these studs load bearing?
Thanks,
Sam

Sometimes the answer is not easy with old houses. Ordinarilly I would say no that is not a load bearing wall because the top plate is just a thin plank and not a full 2x4. But... I see the tail end of a rafter right above the doorway. Rafters usually end/join over a load bearing wall. How is the back wall of the closet constructed. It's possible that it is a load bearing wall.
