I am wanting to remove a wall that is between my living room and dining room. The wall is about 3 1/2 ft on both sides of a 5 ft doorway. How do I know if this is a wall that my house can do with out?

you must identify which way the ceiling joists are going. If they run paralel you can do with out, if they run perpandicular (excuse my spelling) be carefull! you can still remove, but you have to support ceiling prior to installing new header in most situations.
ask and I will answer.
