Title of the message:
Bearing walls

Text of the message:
UBC currently requires all load-bearing walls to have double top-plates.
Was this the case in 1979?
   There's a space under my stairwell that I'd like to have a door into
   for equipment access.  One side has an interior wall with a single
   top plate.  A < 8' long jost which supports the stairwell wall ( 16' high)
   and perhaps the roof joists runs along the top plate.  One end of the
   joist rests on the foundation, the other is hung off a pair of sistered
   joists.
   I think the sistered joints and foundation take the load; plus the
   single top plate means it's not load bearing.
Wall ends have 3 studs.  If they're on the end of a non-bearing partition
atop blocking between joists they couldn't bear bearing.
   I have such a partition chopping off 1/3 off my kitchen to make a
   silly hallway.  It runs parallel to the joists nearly halfway
   between them with no supportng blocking exept at the end over
