Wall Framing Basics

i was taught the stud that carries the header is called a jack.

FYI...across from the header add in some cripples sideways for future window treatments. Then when adding curtain rods you have lumber the screws can bite into instead of driving a screw all the way out to the outer wall Plus you charge a little more.... :)

Does anyone else only read the comments to see how people will criticise the person in the video for doing things differently than they would? :)

My framer seemed to decide not to put jack studs on a few of my window openings, but double king studs with the header bolted to the king studs. The inner king stud is too far inward of the opening and needs to be trimmed back, how can this be trimmed back to make the opening wider?

Always frame the header tight to the top plate

[ihnitdz]

We’ve always called the one under the header a liner

[craytozadventurez]

Should cripples also be put on top next to king stud like on the bottom?

Missing criples above the headerand a double top plate

I think the criticism comes from this cat thinking anyone gaf.
