Based on about 1.3 million housing starts annually in theU.S. and 155,000 in Canadaby 2000, GC&A predicts: o Wood I-beam use will rise nearly 1404o to 530 million linear feet by the year 2000.

O LVL use will grow about l37%o ra 285 million linear feet.

O Glulan beam use will rise aboutl0%o to round 150 million linear feet.
