  Post and beam barn plans??

I am planning on putting up a additional barn on my mini-farm. Here is my problem: The wife insists on a "old style" which translates to post and beam construction and not pole barn/truss construction. Does anyone know where I can obtain plans that recreate the old time post and beam barns? I know there are old frames that are blueprinted out there for purchase, however, they are BIG $$. There are old barns out there for teardown, but that means double the labor to teardown and put back up.I have located a good supply of old beams that have already been knocked down and I plan on using new rough cut lumber for the siding, all I need are plans.

Help if you can.

Peters; good point on the old dried seasoned beams. If I tackle the project, I believe I will use new semi-green beams that are readily available, she will just have to live with it. As far as the challenge goes, I am up for it! Keeps me from getting stagnant. I have located plans through a Timber frame company that builds homes and barns, however, you never find what you have in mind so I think I will have a Architect do custom plans. Thank you for your comments.
