Breaking through old exterior wall

5 years ago

Hello! We’re in the planning stages of an upcoming bathroom reno. The plan Is to steal some space from an old pantry next door so we can enlarge it by several square feet. The bathroom is an addition, and we’ve just discovered the wall separating it from the pantry is the old exterior wall of the house. We arent sure, but we think it may also be the old corner of the house (will be opening hole in side wall to investigate, but need to clear out to be able to access it). The opening would be less than 60”, so I’m likening it to a patio door installation, but am wondering what the additional considerations might be if it is a corner? If we decide to move forward with our plan and want to consult with an engineer, is there an estimated cost for this (NC in US)? At this point we’re just trying to determine whether we want to continue with our plan, so are trying to get a sense of the work involved.


Thanks for your input!.
