What the heck can I do about those stupid supports?
tell your contractor to get those fucking eyesores out of there by the end of the week and he should have known you wouldn't like those once you saw them.
Those are rafter cross ties. That is structural.
They should be tripled if the are not on every rafter.
That is fine for a shed maybe but in a finished room -- the ceiling may move and crack if it freezes there and you have a snow load on the roof -- I think I recall that you said it did.
It's easy to fix now just cut out a drywall piece at the joints.

Side Nail them and use a few truss fasteners to bind them together at the top.
Then wrap them with trim wood or drywall and paint the wrapped beams.

They were already there in the shed. The contractor is my daughters boyfriend who I just paid some money to do the drywall and floor. By profession he is an electrician so this was new to him.

Why hate them? They're nice and besides, they are probably very important.
Do this: Finish the floor first, then stain those beams to match your floor. If you go for darker wood, consider hanging a couple of iron lamps from them.
Turn them into light fixtures or recessed lighting boxes.
Fill the space between the wood and ceiling and turn them into something more visually appealing like arches.
Hide them with sheet rock so you have a flat ceiling.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
@mark - they're just a 2 by 4 with some type of plywood to support the ends on each side and has a bunch of staples, that's why I hate them. I don't think my daughters boyfriend can box it in...I dont know. I do have some really cool ideas now IF he can box it in a certain way.
We'll see how it goes after I paint it. I don't want to have the ceiling go flat because then it will be short and feel crammed.
I was originally gonna use this as the "Slut Hut" but I no longer really need it for an office so I don't know what I'm going to do with it.
I wanted to keep the floor light so it could be as bright as it can be since it's a small space.
In a couple weeks after it's painted I'll be taking some photos of the local rescue dogs in there, and you'll get to see it in action. =)
Are they for support? Don't like them? Do what my girlfriend's sister did. While her husband was out of town, she was totally wasted and took a chain saw to the main beam. They have a huge house and she took out about 10 feet in a critical area.
Finally came to her senses and had her brother fix it before the husband came home from a one week trip.

They are for support yes, but it's just a shed outside of my house.

Your sister is crazy!!!!!!
My GIRLFRIEND'S sister. Their whole family is crazy. Those reality TV shows have nothing on this family
She made such a scene in a restaurant, that I was looking at the door and see if I could crawl that far without being seen. It was a safe bet. She was standing in the middle of the place screaming at the staff, as they accidentally put the to go boxes in with the table trash.
Wonders of bi-polar, xanax and liquor will do for you. I no longer go to their house and made it clear I really don't want her in mine. She came over, decided to clean our kitchen. Saw the electric can opener, figured no one uses them any more and threw out the top piece.

Just an average day
You should probably just say boyfriend/girlfriend or girlfriend/girlfriend - not sure if you're a guy or girl.
