Is My Shower Wall Structural?
I'm in the middle of a master bedroom bathroom remodel (second floor). Part of this entails remodeling the current shower and raising the ceiling height.
The shower is 3x3ft. I removed the 1ft dropped ceiling framing and am hoping to make the shower ceiling flush with the rest of the bathroom. However, as you can see from the attached picture, I want to confirm the double top-plates are not structural? Directly above them is a ceiling joist running perpendicular, and directly on top of that is a truss.
I am fairly confident it is not structural, particularly given the lack of a jack stud on the left side. What is throwing me off is the truss above it and the jack stud on the right. It is also worth mentioning this shower enclosure, 3x3ft, does not span the length of the bathroom (i.e. it is a partial wall).
Thoughts?
