        "text": "Framing a door opening requires king studs on each side, jack (trimmer) studs to support the header, a solid header sized for the span and load, and a bottom plate or sill. Short cripple studs fill the gap between the header and top plate. If you are modifying a wall during a remodel, it is critical to determine whether it is load-bearing before cutting any lumber. A load-bearing wall demands a properly engineered structural header and temporary wall support to hold floor or roof weight above, whereas a standard non-bearing partition wall uses smaller, standard lumber framing.",
