I HAVE A 1985 HOMES OF MERIT WITH A GALLEY KITCHEN.
CAN I MAKE THIS INTO AN OPEN KITCHEN OVER LOOKING THE LIVING ROOM AT ALL ?
IS THE WALL BETWEEN THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN A LOAD BEARING WALL?
ANY OTHER IN PUTS ON OPENING UP THIS KITCHEN TO ALLOW A BREAKFAST BAR?
THANKS

Re: GALLEY KITCHEN MAKEOVER
It is difficult to answer your question without knowing if the home is a single or double wide or which direction the wall is running...
There is almost always a way to make an opening in any wall, but if it is a wall that carries any load you must replace whatever support that you remove. This can be done with adding additional header strength and beefing up the studs at the edges of the opening. There are other options. You should hire a licensed, experienced contractor and let him contact the builder directly to get the plan drawings he needs to make a professional decision.
