J/K @Onboard 2.0  I'm considering putting a window in my game room, where it's pretty dark.  Standard 2x4, drywall, stucco construction.   I'm not sure how wide I want to go.

What is the point where header sizes upsize from 4x4 to 4x6 to 4x8.  I've been out of this shit for too long, and I don't remember. I'm thinking that 4x6 should be adequate for anything up to 48", but I'm not 100% sure.  This wall is on the ground floor of a two-story house, but this side is single story...nothing above it. 

Not architect or eng, but to my knowledge 4 x6 for a 48” opening 4x8 for 60” 4 x4 for 36”.

Oh shit, I just saw that onboard left us.   Sorry to hear that.

Hadn’t seen that.  Left us, gone or left us GONE?

 

Got mad. Hopefully he’ll be back 

think I saw that @Longhorn_Fan68 is an architect.

Nothing against you, but this is dumb.  A double 2x4 is 3 inches wide.  That doesn't go so well on top of a 3 1/2 inch stud.  I'll go with a 4x4 in that situation.

Doubled headers are spaced

the methodology is sound, but the results are suspect. a double 2x12 header will span a lot more than 7'. weird graphic

I assume a Cloak Room thing?

My bigger concern would be cutting into the stucco for a window.  

I think onboard got pissed in the food and anger threads.
