HTML How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Build Navigation with Unordered Lists

Header floats to the left and does not fill my entire top of the page.

After the first step, my header literally floats to the left and the first picture gets beside it. When I remove the float property, it does fill up the entire top of the page. What am I doing wrong?

That will fix it

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding: 5px 0 0 0;
  /*max-width: 100%;*/
  width: 100%;
}

It does not work... My images float right of my header. My header stays the same size.
