She starts the project without realizing that it's a structural wall.

From the comments: 'You can remove it but not without the help of an engineer, an architect, and a contractor. You would need to build some kind of custom beam to span the area supported by the wall and tie it in structurally to the two nearest load bearing walls.'

and

'Those are the projects you see on "This Old House" with engineered beams and steel plates and they don't tell you it adds $250,000 to the cost of the renovation to take that one wall down'.

At least she realized once she opened the sheetrock she stopped and didn’t cut the vertical support which is likely smarter than 75% of other women.

This thread title started off so promisingly, but then…

Women getting involved in any kind of renovation is just a headache. I hate working on anything with my fiancee around, endless pointless questions and comment.

Doing even light demo work barefoot is a choice…
