Thanks gents.
In talking with @dall , he pointed out that I should've mention that I'm going to have a shed roof and this proposed truss or beam will be the header that about 10- 2x6 rafters will sit on. It'll have a metal roof and will be 12' wide.
Something like this, with knee supports...

I ordered a mill and it should be ready for pickup on Monday. I'm pretty excited to get it and get to milling. I went with the Range Road 6032 and opted for the 14hp Kohler. I was originally going to go with the 22hp predator but I'd rather have the warranty of the Kohler.
