Reposition Header to Sidebar Left

[genevishgraphics]

Hi All -I am trying to do a new theme based off of Sample - I want to reposition the header to the left sidebar area - Like Brian Garner's new website, instead of using the sidebar widget. The menu will be there as well, just like he has.
Any tutorials out there?
Thanks in advance!

Haven't seen one but i would email Brian using the contact form on his site and ask for the code.

I did - no dice...yet. Maybe someone will help me out before the next version of genesis!! 😉
But I will keep working at it to see what I can do on my own! Love Genesis!

So wow - I have made som progress. I have figured out how to move the nav to the sidebar using
`/** Move primary nav menu */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_nav' );`
and it works great!
However, after applying the same steps to the header using this
`/** Move header */
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'genesis_do_header' );
`
The only thing that gets moved to the sidebar is the title-area div, and the header div is still above the inner div.
It is probably something simple, I know it is something I am missing here. Any helpers out there? Thanks!

Just echo your header image in using the hook

 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area'

I got it - tinkering for awhile - but I think I have it!

Any ideas of how I can get the primary sidebar widget to display in the correct place now?
I have the header right where I want it and the nav below that. However now my social icons that are in the primary sidebar are getting pushed to the right of the sidebar

This is the code I am using to get things to finally work- courtesy of http://www.carriedils.com/
I just changed the actions to where I wanted the header to go

`/** Move header */
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 ) ;

add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'genesis_do_header' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 );

/** Move primary nav menu */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area', 'genesis_do_nav' );
`
