What happens here
The presenter introduces the concept of 'headers' in building construction. He explains that headers are crucial structural components installed in all openings within a wall, such as for doors, windows, or larger passages between rooms. Their primary purpose is to carry the structural load from above the opening across the gap, transferring it to the supporting studs on either side.
Goal: Identify headers and their purpose in openings within a framed wall.
