Thanks for moving it guys. I've been on craig's list looking for bar stuff and a nice pool table light. I am stuck here so it's limited on what I can pickup till I get home in Dec.

Looks like he's adding the top plate in the last pic, across the front. Yep, I would use 6x6 skids. Maybe 4x6.

hey everything looks good but trust me when i tell you those 4x4 beams are gonna make you mad later down the road, a 4x4 will bow like recurve bow all on its own much more with weight on it, judging from one pic it looks like you only have 3 footing on that 4x4 so your spanning rougly 10 feet on that 4x4, its gonna sag something unreal and your floor is going to follow. at the very least add one more footing between the footings there, to late to change them so add footings (blocks)

Nothing like the smell of fresh cut lumber. I like it, Dimebox. I agree about the footings, can't be too cautious on the foundation.

Good looking out guys my wife asked him about that cause she know the pool table will be in there. So she is on it, he told her he was putting more blocks to support those 2x6's. Thanks again guys. I am just ready to get home and start on the bar. flag

Yea it is thinking about using cedar pickets sand it down real good. Then coat it a little darker stain, then coat that with polyurethane to the max.

man i hate to keep sounding condescending but....
without ceiling joists that roof system is very weak, its gonna sag, i see theres a temporary support on the ridge, when you pull that out its going to sag and push the outer walls out in the center. you can do an open rafter system but the ridge should have been a beam, so it wouldnt sag, i would recommend putting a pole in the center of the room to the ridge if its going to stay like this.
