We're going ahead with a basic reno on our Brisbane property - new Bathroom, new/second hand kitchen, and second hand laminate flooring in the living room. Possibly adding air con but waiting to see how long the long term interest free offers last.
Last reno we did was easy - we knew there were no structural walls, getting under the house was easy(ish), we had the help of a great builder in deciding what to do.
This one the bathroom is very odd (powder enclave with shower coming off one side and toilet off the other with only saloon style doors/gates). I'm concerned that one of these may be a structural wall (either that or the original owner had very odd ideas about bathroom design). Are there any ways of determining this without bringing in an engineer? (or are there any signs I should look for that may indicate a structural wall?)
