That's a link to a site where they try to get you to pay $300 for the plans. I find it hard to believe any legitimate company would do that. Do you have any information about getting the plans that doesn't involve paying someone $300 for them?
I really can't believe these are so hard to find.

While I have built lots of buildings with standard floor joists, I am wanting to build a Chalet type home with a loft and exposed beams on the first floor.
Is there a span table for something like  4 x 10 beam?

Thanks
Mike

I'm not sure if this is the right category for this post, if it isn't, please relocate it Mods.

I've been looking for the plans for the Family Circle Bolt-together house designed by Jeff Milstein. Sadly, I haven't been able to find them online, which is surprising in this internet age we inhabit. I saw an article today in the NYT about one of these houses that just sold, and figured I would look anew. So far, without any luck.
I have specific reasons for looking for those plans, and don't need links to anything else, no matter how well meaning.
If you have a set of the plans, or a copy of a set of the original plans, or even a link to a place I can download or purchase a copy of the original plans, without purchasing something else I have absolutely no interest in buying, please let me know.
Thank you.
