This Month's Feature Article
1. 
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. To find out more about the benefits of using steel 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!

Thanks for reading,
