A wood floor is very interesting. I am using it primarily for a garage - for a dually pickup. 11,400 GVW. I actually really like the idea.
That knee wall height is disappointing though. I wanted an office up there and the stairs up against the wall leaving space for a wood stove in the corner. I'll have to think about that. 14' width would make a huge difference too - that's a big truck.
Maybe I need a different set of plans.
I figured as much about cottonwood. It's dirt cheap around here (.50 / bdft cut and green). Oak is about twice that. Can't do much else with cottonwood though. I've got a 60' tree sitting at my father in law's. I don't want to cut it because I don't feel like splitting that. I think I just found a use for it though.
