4. Termites Prompt Business Opportunity |
The
first thing builder, Terry Doyle noticed when he
bought his property in Sydney's outer suburbs
was that every single timber fence post on the
property had been eaten out by termites. This was
not much encouragement for a man about to build
his home to a standard design in timber. After
researching termite free steel house framing for
his own home, Terry recognized a great business
opportunity to build steel house frames. To find
out more about how help from BHP Steel Lysaght
made the transition from timber to steel possible,

5. "Up and Under" Roof Scores for QLD
Home of Rugby League |
An
"Up and Under" is a high kick that has won many
a football match. An innovative new "Up and
Under" roof construction technique for the
massive new grandstands at Queensland's home
of Rugby League is also a winner. The new AU$280
million Suncorp Stadium redevelopment, formerly
known as Lang Park, has transformed the comfort
of spectators for Rugby League, Rugby Union and
Soccer, when it was completed early in June this
year. To find out more about how this innovative
roof design used BHP Steel Lysaght products, go

6. Spacemate Adds Storage |
An
Australian company has developed an innovative solution
to create extra storage space in townhouses,
apartments, homes and offices. Melbourne based Extra-Store
Pty Ltd devised its Spacemate sturdy storage system
using COLORBOND® steel to provide an additional
2.5 cubic metres of secure storage space in parking
areas. To find out more about this space saving product,

7 . Steel Curves To Create Award Winning Beach Home |
A
beach house on the outskirts of Perth, with a spectacular
curved, roof recently won the COLORBOND® steel
Award at the recent WA chapter of the Royal Australian
Institute of Architects awards. The home takes advantage
of its northern orientation while still maximising
the views to the west. For more information on this
unashamedly contemporary home visit:

8. Landscaper Unearths Steel Fencing Solutions |
An
award winning landscape gardener has unearthed
new steel solutions for garden privacy, security
and visual appeal. Landscape gardener Martin Semken
of Semken Landscaping was impressed by COLORBOND® steel
for Fencing on display at last year's Melbourne
International Flower and Garden Show, and recently
used steel fencing in one of their prestige, high
quality gardens. Find out more at:

9. Did You Know... |
In
honor of this September being the first month
of spring, the theme for this months' trivia
is flowers. Did you know:
- The
flowers of the Caucasian lime, which can grow
in Britain, are poisonous to bees. They
can often be found on the ground underneath
the trees.
- A
rare plant called Puya raimondii from the Andes
in South America doesn't grow
a flower
until
it is 150 years old - and after that it dies.
- The
white flower of the Amazon water lily is
the size of a football and turns purple
after
it has been pollinated.
- The smallest flowering plant in the world
is the duckweed, the flower of which can only be
seen with a microscope.
- While the rose may bear no fruit, the
rose hips (the part left on the plant after a rose
is done blooming) contain more Vitamin C than almost
any other fruit or vegetable.
