I am looking to frame in a 15'x20' room in my pole barn and think I have most of the details ironed out. However, I only want an 8' ceiling height inside the room but the barn has 10' walls. Obviously the new framing will help support each end of the new ceiling joists, but what is my best...

Hey guys. First post on the board. I've been lurking for a month or so since started my new fall project, but just now decided to join because I'm sure I'll have some questions on how to best implement a few of the ideas I have in my head for this building. In the meantime, I thought I'd show...
