Span and Connection Calculators

This is great. I just found this today from the American Wood Council. The calculators are at the top right of the page.

They also have a great free downloads library at http://www.awc.org/Publications/download.html

Enjoy.

Specifc Gravity, Moisture Content, and Density of Wood

Here you go. Like Math? This is for the forestry students who like to insert some math into the subject.

It is an interesting read about determining specific gravity and understanding moisture content and density.

This is from the USDA, the Forest Service, and the Forest Products Labratory.

Offering Internet Marketing Assistance

Building Products Plus will begin offering free internet marketing assistance to loyal customers who purchase more than a certain dollar amount per year from Building Products Plus or American Pole and Timber (amount to be determined).

The free assistance will be focused on improving the effectiveness of customers' existing websites, although, we will consider helping customers with the design and implementation of new sites as well.

We want to increase the number of qualified leads our clients receive from their websites so they can turn those leads into sales.

Building Products Plus is asking nothing in return for the service other than continued business from our clients. This is yet another way we are dedicating ourselves to the success of our clients. We appreciate that our success is based on their success. http://www.BuildingProductsPlus.com
