I have finally finished design based on my interpretation of the building code (this will be my first design, build and first home). Now that I've estimated timber cost, I am looking for ways reduce it. I was careful about over engineering, but since this is my first design / build, I continue to doubt not only my understanding of code but the stability of its design. Below is link to my design in Google SketchUp ( Download Free Version Here ) format, I would really appreciate any feedback you guys could offer if willing.

First Design

Only two lumber dimensions are used and both are dimensional yellow pine : 10x10 and 6x8

Thanks again!
