[TowerTalk] "I" beam question

[Rick Bullon]

  OK I still need info on I beams for my elevated guys. I was told that 
there was a thread in the archives but I have gone though there till my 
eyes blurred.
 I went to the local metal yard today to see what they had. All of it is 
4 inches on the wide side of the beams with the difference in the 
distance between then they had 6,8,and 12 inches I figured that the 12x4 
inches stuff was to big so my question is is the 6x4 big enough or do I 
need the 8x4 inches beam?
 Another question is it is also lbs per foot the 6 in stuff is 12# per 
foot and the 8in is 13# per foot. is this the right stuff or am I 
looking at the wrong place.
  I.m getting desperate as I plan to start the digging and pouring next 
weekend when my vacation starts.
