as for the posts, I would remove all the bark and the first 1/8" or so of material under it, until I was down to good hard wood. The bark will accelerate rot by holding moisture against the post, as it is considerably more porous, and virtually impossible to seal. A decent drawknife and a couple log horses make the job fairly easy, and enjoyable. Almost every cabin I've built has gotten local timber in a conspicuous place, sometimes the porch posts, sometimes interior posts for the loft, but it's a great way to add an authentic/rustic look, and the wood is free for the labor.

that 16' span, I would put a couple strongbacks under the two joists that are floating, cutting the span on those middle ones to something closer to 6'. Looks like the outer joist is firmly supported, but those in the middle may want to get springy after a while.
