The sill plate is constructed using either a 2\u201dx4\u201d or 2\u201dx6\u201d, pending the exterior wall construction, and laid on its flat side on top of the Jack studs.

Note that spacers may be required between the Header boards, pending the width of the framing used on the exterior wall (e.g. if the walls were framed with 2\u201dx6\u201ds then spacers will be required between the two header boards). The Header should be nailed into the King studs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally add cripple studs over the header.
