Hi Tim, sorry I couldn't load the pics in the previous post, but a dutch frame with dropped ties was exactly what I proposed, however the tall posts on either side of the middle H frame (up to the plate/purlin) had to be really tall in order to leave much usable space upstairs. The sawyer being used produces great products and I've been training him (he also has a structural beam grading license) but can't do much more than 17.
