Greetings
I'm intending to add a two foot square window to a shed which is
being converted into shop space. The wall is load bearing, there is a
loft and the joist holding that up are attached to the studs I'll have
to cut.
So, header to spread the load. I'm reading about they need to be
wide (tall) enough: And they run from six to 10".
Recommendations?


Sooner or later someone is going to tell you to get an engineer to
look at it.


Yep - garden shed engineers dot com - :-)
