    Any damage to your existing walls, floors or ceilings?

    Thanks for the response. No, there are no signs of any damage. This sheet metal piece is very substantial. It is bolted to floor and also bolted to header. It is about 8' high and 25" wide. Must be either structural of some sort either supporting overhead or maybe in case of high wind, I thought. Contacted builder of townhome and they either do not have or are not at liberty to disclose the original building plans. I think I will work around it. thanks

    I have a question. I want to remove a closet right next to the entrance. Behind the closet is dead basement space. I started to remove the drywall and have hit a sheet of sheet metal right behind the drywall. What is this ? Why is it there ? Can I remove it ?? Help.

    It may have something to do with your ventilation system or maybe electrical? If I were you I would contact the origional owner of your house or look at the house plans. I would not remove it without having a profesional check it first. I have had my fair share of unusal things behind drywall:-)

    Thanks for the response. I contacted builders of these townhomes and they are either unwilling or unable to provide any type of specs or drawings of these units. Piece is pretty substantial so must be for something like structural support or in case of high wind, etc. I think I'll end up working around it if I want to do work myself. Have also got opinions of 3 framers; 1 said leave it alone and the other 2 said they would get rid of it if that's what I wanted. Sounds scary. I think I will work around it. Thanks.
