For what door?


Ransley and Joe: I'm assuming that the header is load bearing, is it
not?
Nate: what do you mean by "overbuilding"
Also, about the recommendation of holding up the joints with 4x4. Does
putting 2 2x4's together sufficient?

Many thanks for all the responses.

Above the door I say its not, I would just raise it, you are not
making it wider, the supports wont be bothered.
