Did you consider doing scissor trusses on one end to give you more headroom for a the loft? I am working on designing my office / woodshop / garage right now and have started to look in that direction for increasing floor space and utilizing the vertical space.

This is absolutely beautiful! I love it. You did a fantastic job man. This is inspirational to me as it's pretty much spot on what I am planning! Following.

I confirmed I am not in a FEMA designated floodzone. The lowest point where there is a stream occasionally is run-off from the surrounding fields. The area that occasionally gets soggy is about a third of an acre according to estimates from Google Earth (using the tool). Furthermore I checked...

WOW! I am absolutely in LOVE with this! It was said before but this is a retirement dream home! Bravo man, bravo. That said ***** about the framing screw ups but I am really happy to see your take on it, I'm sure you had some choice words to say when you figure it out but yeah, not much to do...
