Trying to see if this wall is load bearing. On the left, the wall went all the way up to the ceiling but the beam was not connected to any joist/beams in the attic. Also have vaulted ceilings but it was not attached to “peak” of ceiling. We removed to where the pencil is on the right. 1.5 years ago wall was taken down.

99.8% percent sure that wasn't load bearing. For a vaulted ceiling with that little stub of wall, a load bearing wall would run parallel to the ridge and directly below it. Either that or it would run perpendicular to the ridge and incorporate a column so that the ridge beam could be sized smaller. – popham Nov 09 '23 at 01:02

1You took the wall down 18 months ago and you're asking about it now? – FreeMan Nov 09 '23 at 01:06

Yes. When we removed it, we had 2-3 people say it is likely not load bearing but am just asking for assurance. So we did not do it blindly. – BradyS1010 Nov 09 '23 at 01:35

5No offence but if you want assurance ask a qualified individual aka structural engineer. No matter how many people you ask if they aren't qualified it counts as 0. – basement_diy Nov 09 '23 at 01:44
