Add Blocking and Cripple Studs

header all right so you guys heard me throwing out all this terminology let's talk a little bit of you know framing terminology okay so these are studs everybody knows that that is their base plate that is the top plate on top now uh they the the outermost of whatever door opening will be called the king stud okay after that is the jack stud why because it's holding the header on top of it which leads me to the next one the portion over it that disperses the pressure from the top you know in school they teach you an earthquake go underneath the cover well it's a header right there that's the header um now the last part is the studs that go up here vertically they're called studs and um why they're called i don't know but it's all part of dispersing that energy so what we're doing is we're adding blocking to this with the 14 foot span here unless we had some blocking in there we don't want that wiggle so we're just pinching these in here make them nice and tight [Music]
