Looks awesome!

Good enough! Thank you.

Oh yeah, it will be freestanding right next to the walls.

I meant changing the first 2 levels to 8', which would shrink us down just enough to fit everything within the 18' wall height.

We did think of doing 8' walls instead of 9'.

I'm finally picking up what you're putting down. I think it WOULD be way easier this way. I hadn't even thought about doing it this way. This is why I wanted to try and "noodle" it out on here before I got too carried away.

Yes, I meant should be, if so designed. It's clear.

10-4.

I'm pretty sure I figured 40/20.

Not if the end is resting on the wall in the middle of the second story, right? That should be enough to hold it up.

Why not just use the 20' floor joists for the 3rd floor and frame in a false ceiling over the open area of the second floor?

Building is sitting in the yard. I don't remember what we came up with on the snow load. I don't THINK that with a 4:12, we are going to have much sitting on the roof though.

Photobucket is down right now. I can't flop it due to needing to park a 53' trailer inside the building.

It looks like that in 2D. From 1st to 2nd, there is a landing and a turn to 1 step.If you look close in the picture, it shows a SHORT railing by the open area for the 1 step.

1) Outside rim board, I bet I could weld a clip to the column to hold it. 2) Stairs I think should have 6'-7' right at the middle there. 3) I think I like false ceiling best. 4) I don't think any welding or exhaust that will happen will be for a long enough time frame to bother the "house"...
