I did not show the new door in the mock-ups.I am including three images.The house as it is todayA rough mock-up with three windows in the main front wall.A rough mock up with two windows in the main front wall – but with “headers” above the windows.Note: The colors are not correct.

Exhaust system with headers, separated the tranny from motor and ripped into the gas tank.

Brick can and often is used as load bearing/structural walls, depending on if the bricks are designed (usually filled with mortar after every coarse) for it.The true FOOL of this posting proves and shows his ingnorance by insulting the op calling him a dumbass while says something that is not true at all.Looks great Wendell and another option is to sometimes be able to add a header hidden in the ceiling walls or rafters.congrats!!!

Also, I don't take the visqueen all the way to the header.

That would be for them to cut the concrete, put in a header if it is needed and install the window.  

I think I'm not so much worried about language (although important) but more so having an attorney header on the agreement to show I mean business.But will definitely look into that!

Framing the header for $1200...?

excuse the mistyping in the title header... 

I'll send out the first message this Sunday around 9 PM PST (12 AM Monday EST) under the header "BP Book Club: Rich Dad Poor Dad - Introduction" and then follow it up with a new post every 2-3 days.

I have a hunch they do not run the full width, but are two separate lengths carried on that wall.You can remove a 6 - 10' section of that wall,  but you will have to engineer it:  new header  and point loads taken all the way to footings in the basement (Note: this may require adding posts under the beam in the basement).
