In fact, I typically use my lower end Ryobi for that type of work, as I'm not as concerned about it being over-worked/burning out.At the potential new opening, think of it like you would a main floor header system - the new header doesn't need to sit on the block, but instead be supported by trimmer studs on each end (one trimmer for each side is all you need with that small of a span, and the block essentially functions as king studs to hold everything in place).

It makes it easily functional for temporary activity during the winter. 

Houston is diverse, fortune 500 companies located their, a strong robust economy.

What functionality are you looking for?
