[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 91894, member: 6974"] It's all dependent on the load applied from above and the size and grade of the header. I build homes for 27 years in the San Jose, CA area and here an inspector would require a structural engineer's calculations and signature on the design drawing. The trimmers under the header carry 99% of the load applied to the header. A 16d nail from the king stud to the header is worth 90# of shear. The two 2x4's under the header would not be included in any load calculations and neither would the two 45's from the header assembly to the trimmers. Steve. ps: Here in CA for a simple headed out opening like this is all floors are designed to carry the load. Only if a column is required would an analysis be necessary to see if additional floor support would be required, e.g. a special concrete footing under the post. [/QUOTE]
