2. Steel
Rescues Impossible Roof Design |
What
do you do when you can't convince manufacturers of
timber roof trusses to build the roof structure for
the house you're building? Use steel of course! The
development by BHP Steel of ZINCALUME® steel for
wall and roof framing gives homeowners the flexibility
to create unique design options more efficiently and
at a price competitive with traditional materials.

building frames visit:

9. Did You Know... |
Five
completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind.
The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is telephones.
Did you know:
-
Telephone comes from the Greek word tele, meaning
from afar, and phone, meaning voice or voiced sound
- The
Lazy E Ranch in Gutherie, Oklahoma, has pay telephones
that are 2 metres above the ground, for use by cowboys
on horseback
- There
is a phone booth located in Mojave dessert 23km
from the nearest paved road
- The
first payphones had an attendant who collected the
money and placed the calls. The phones were often
in very fancy large booths
- The
first mobile car phones were located in the car's
trunk, taking up nearly half of the space!
