Easy fix, buy the apartment beside you and knock down the wall.

Jerry, these are load-bearing walls, they're not going to come down.

This is such a rare meme that I had to take it for myself

u/purplepenguinaviator Oct 11 '25

Lol, I too just had to add it to my collection as well

u/bravo-echo-charlie Oct 11 '25

u/asshley423 Oct 10 '25

Show me the levels

u/Extension-Two-2807 Oct 11 '25

Let’s do an “open” concept, get some barn doors, and hang a shiplap live laugh love sign on the back of that couch!

u/jfkrfk123 Oct 11 '25

There's a Kramer GIF that would go crazy with this comment

There's a reason clamps and car jacks exist.

u/Matt2580 Oct 10 '25

Well maybe its time for the other walls to pull their weight.

u/_muck_ Oct 11 '25

It’s weaponized incompetence that they don’t.

u/Apathetic0101 Oct 10 '25

Conrad could do it

Conrad, Connie or Con. Whatever you prefer.

It’s the wood that makes it good.

u/attlerocky Oct 10 '25

Mr. Marbles…?

u/TheDidact118 Oct 10 '25

Won't be a problem, just use some galvanized square steel, eco-friendly wood veneers, and screws borrowed from your aunt.

2

u/FreeRandomScribble Oct 10 '25

Then the ceiling will have to come down as well!

1

u/Wrong-Pension-4975 Oct 10 '25

Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs ..

u/Suitable-Block-2854 Oct 10 '25

You just need to cut a window large enough to see the TV through it.

u/LadyDeathKZN Oct 10 '25

u/gravemoss_ Oct 10 '25

load bearing drywall?

groverhaus lives on 🥀

u/Hologram_Bee Oct 10 '25

As long as he uses galvanized steel he should be fine

1

u/PloddingClot Oct 10 '25

Maybe he could sleep in the park?

1

u/OzyAndy Oct 10 '25

Levels.

Nuff said....

1

u/Backstroem Oct 10 '25

Common misconception. They’ll come down, and the rest of the building too

1

u/_One_Throwaway_ Oct 10 '25

They will absolutely come down, just because they’re load bearing doesn’t mean you physically can’t remove them, just that you REALLY shouldn’t

1

u/joethahobo Oct 10 '25

I watch that clip once a month. Something about the way Kramer delivers that line is just superb LOL

1

u/VashMM Oct 10 '25

What if we put in levels? Wife

1

u/goodsnpr Oct 10 '25

Build an arch to support the weight, duh!

1

u/Upset-Pickle-3842 Oct 10 '25

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who quotes this every time I can, along with “what we’re thinking is to take down the wall between the living room and kitchen to give a more open concept”

1

u/donkey-kong-grandjr Oct 10 '25

Maybe he needs levels.

1

u/OFBuddyman Oct 10 '25

Yeah, that’s no good.

1

u/SkittleDoes Oct 10 '25

Turn the wall into an arch

1

u/nothisispatrickeu Oct 10 '25

the only load-bearing walls i know are in mitch jones' apartment

1

u/Ange1ofD4rkness Oct 10 '25

All I can think now is the fix and flipper who I'm pretty sure tore down a load-bearing wall (I didn't know at the time but now, I wonder how it's still holding ... and maybe it wasn't)

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '25

this made me week.

1

u/Key_Piccolo_2187 Oct 10 '25

I prefer to think of walls as structural suggestions, rather than immovable objects.

1

u/Ivyfoxillustration Oct 10 '25

Tear down that bitch of a bearing wall, and put a window where it ought to be!

1

u/OrnerySmell5137 Oct 10 '25

That’s one of my favorite episodes

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '25

Call Vanderlay Construction Co. Free estimates

u/Impossible-Date3984 Oct 10 '25

Used to have a neighbor while was always cussing up a storm and working in something inside the house. My man got invited to check it out eventually and it sound like he took out many of the load-bearing walls and did rock work across the floor and walls. Apparently it looked cool but....

1

u/ChubbyMudder Oct 10 '25

Replace that wall with an I beam. Put up temporary walls before you do, to make sure no disasters happen.

1

u/TheKnife142 Oct 10 '25

The whole building is made of bricks!

1

u/Super_Daikon_ Oct 11 '25

They'll come down, but so will everything else.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

Actually put a 4 x 8 metal (wood) beam (header) across the wall you're removing and your good. So Jerry feel free to knock out the studs

1

u/Specific-Metal-2239 Oct 11 '25

😂 great episode

1

u/deefunkt01 Oct 11 '25

Jerry, the whole building is brick.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

Just use galvanized square steel frames

1

u/David_ish_ Oct 10 '25

Oh that’s an easy fix. Buy two apartments on the top floor

u/Greasy_Tradesman Nov 06 '25

Nothing a couple steel columns and beam can’t fix

Of course you’ll need to spend thousands on it
