Trimmers for door in load bearing wall
I am inserting a door in a load bearing wall (two-story Cape Cod). The opening between king studs is 45 inches. I've used three 2 x 10 boards plus 1" plywood cut to size for the header.
I planned to use two trimmers on each side, but now wonder if I could use one instead. Local jurisdiction uses 2000 International Building Code.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
