Well, I do have an old JD 450 track loader that I don't use anymore since I picked up the JCB rubber tire loader. The JCB's backhoe runs circles around the JD and doesn't tear up the ground so bad. Maybe the track loader could get a new job as a tank...
Looked in to those laminated beams. PRICEY! I'm also a little worried about how they would handle the humidity. This building won't have an enclosed crawl space. It'll be closed off with wire and lattice to keep the critters out, but that's it. Underside will be for storage, too.
If I'm using 2 x 12's for floor joists, any particular reason to use 2 x 10's for the beams? It's only a few dollars more per board ( so roughly $12 per beam) between the two sizes.
I think I'll stick with hopping from pier to pier. It's tempting to go the easy way with 12' joists and one center beam, but I'd feel better with only 8' joists and two center beams. That way each cross beam is directly supported by a pier. With 12' joists, my center beam will be floating between the center piers.
And now I wonder about the Advantec being exposed on the bottom side. Hmm...it'll never see weather, but it does got awfully humid around here.
