In the back of Country Living, Early American Homes and some of the
other magazines of this type, there is a company with plans for post
and beam type buildings. These buildings are on the barn-shed carriage
house type and sizes.

There are a fair number of good timber frame builders in your area. Pick
up some magazines at your local cornerstore, supermarket orbook store to
get a listing of some of them. Whoever you work with, please take the
time to check out references. You'll save yourself a LOT of headaches. 
There are also quite a few good books.

Good luck.
