Greetings I'm intending to add a two foot square window to a shed which is being converted into shop space. The wall is load bearing, there is a loft and the joist holding that up are attached to the studs I'll have to cut. So, header to spread the load. I'm reading about they need to be wide (tall) enough: And they run from six to 10". Recommendations?

It's not shed/shop with a window, it's a hide!
