my house is circa 1840,the kitchen unfortunately very small so we are hoping to knock through into the pantry and outside toilet,how can i be sure that the seperating walls are not load bearing.there is nothing above the room and from what i can see the joists run parrallel to main walls but there is a beam sitting on top of one of the walls going the opposite way ,could this mean its loadbearing.also when we removed the old outside toilet the old lime plaster had completely blown,there was lots of wet rot,we removed this but my other question is how do i replaster on top of very uneven sandstone,do i need to put something for the new lime plaster to adhere to.sorry if this sounds all over the place.any help would be much appreciated.thanks in advance
