I agree with TIMBEAL about wranglerstar, not always the best info. I recommend Timber Frame Construction, and Build a Classic Timber Framed House, both by Jack Sobon. The first book has plans for a 12'x16' garden shed. Google "sobon shed" for photos. The second book has an 18'x36' hall and parlor colonial.

Thank you for the book recommendations I will buy them from amazon.
