After re-reading Paul Freeman's reply to my request for help on sizing my beams, it only makes sense to get my plans checked out before putting the whole thing together. This is a job that I am doing for someone else, and prior to this, all that I have done is stick-frame construction. I am sure the people that requested this project would agree to a "modest fee" (Paul's words.)

That being said, can anyone recommend someone who can check out my plans? In particular, someone with experience on pavilion-sytle, four-post shelters. I initially received a bunch of mail from different timber-frame companies, but I would really like to hear some first-hand recommendations from you folks. Also, as an FYI for myself, what is a modest fee for someone checking out a small 10'x20' structure?

Thanks, and I will be checking back soon -- Tim.
