    That it is. U need a header to support the ceiling beams. Put up temporary wall until after header is installed.

    Header should be double 2 x 10 supported by 2 jack studs on each side. Make header 7'' longer than opening.

    The jack studs can be put inside existing wall and made flush to wall for closets.

    Good luck

    Chuck
