Hello I am new to the sight and have some Timber frame questions. First Day give you my senario. I am a log home and timber frame enthusiast. I've done some work with a guy who is a builder and have done some tenon and mortising. I am no way a professional. So I bought a property with a small hay barn on it. It's 22x32. The barn was used as a hunting cabin for 30 yrs. In the Lower level there are 2 8x8 x16 ftBeams running the length of the barn in the center aligned with the roof peak. The upper level floor has some sagging. Near the center. I am wondering if anyone knows if the beams are thick enough to carry the load of 16ft. One has a round steel post at 8ft. The other has none.Any information would be very much appreciated.
