Ok, so this is my first post and first major project.
I have a wall that sits the opposite direction as the joists so I assume it’s a load bearing wall that I would like to open up. I want to cut an opening into the wall so that I can see into the next room. The wall is in the shape of a "J" where it has two turns so I want to keep the first corner as the post in position, but want to remove a couple studs for the opening in the middle.
My question is as long as I don't touch the first corner posts can I take out the studs in the middle with no issues? Also, the last part of the "J" wall goes opposite direction of the wall I want to open up, so can I take that entire section out? I’ve attached a picture so I appreciate any feedback you have.
