Abstract

The present invention relates to a building construction having a smaller aperture by extending the aperture top side edges referred to as protrusions and where the protrusions and the aperture bottom edges secure metal framing members from vertical movement and the aperture side edge and hole notches that secure the metal framing members from vertical and horizontal movement. The metal framing member have different shapes and metal framing member notches that engage the metal support members to reduce or eliminate vertical and horizontal movement between the metal framing members.
