Closet rough opening

Three studs were cut and removed. Well, actually two. I scavenged a whole piece for use as the new king stud on the left and inserted a new cripple piece above the header. I don't know why it looks grey. It's just the mid-wall blocking. The other two were cut at the top of header, then reused as trimmer studs (sometimes called "jack studs") to hold the same header, which is a 4x4 that I happen to have lying around. Without roof load, the header beam doesn't need to be any bigger than that. (Continued from earlier)
