good morning everyone ,
I'm attempting to build a post & beam / log cabin garage.... 8" x 8" upright posts / 4" x 8" sill & header plates / uprights placed at 8 ft on center. overall size = 24 x 60.( 5 bays )
A few questions are
1. what dimension would be best for the tenon going from the beam into the sill & header beams.
2. what size peg is best
3. what is best way to join sill & header plates at the 4 corners of the building ( while also tenoning 8"x8" post into them.

any suggestions or reference to a good book would be greatly appreciated.
thanks fpr your help.
