Redwood Fqrm Use

Redwood, unlike the majority of metals used in farm construction, is not damaged by exposure to barnyard acids such as are found in manure.

Redwood heartwood is used as a farm building material because of its natural resistance to attack by decay-causing fungus or termites.

The grading of California redwood lumber is specifically designed to provide the right type of lumber for farm use. The lumber is separated into decay-resistant all-heartwood grades and other grades for general construction. These all-heartwood grades range from a knot-free Clear All Heart for fine sidings to a useful Construction Heart for general farmstead use, sales for the past two years.

Slat-and-wire utility fencing can be used to make an economical sunshade for animals on feedlot or pasture. The California Redwood Association, Dept. FL-A, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco ll, California, has simple plans for such a sunshelter.

Exponded "Porloble Oftice" Produced for Remodelers

A new brie{case "portable office" for remodeling contractors, packed with sales and estimating material, has just been produced by Georgia-Pacific Corp. to fill requests from contractors and building material dealers for up'to'date remodeling data. o o o o

It expands and updates a previous highly successful remodelers' kit, of which more than 14,000 have been distributed to contractors and dealers from coast to coast during the past year, according to H. C. Ellicott, G-P's advertising and promotion manager. Data in the new kit is not confined to G-P products and includes some of the most popular items from the intial kits.

Among key items in the l0xlS-inch plastic briefcase is a plastic-bound "Contractor Guide to Remodeling" book with tables for estimating framing, sheathing, flooring, furring, nailing, concrete slabs, brickwork, excavating and other phases of construction.

Among sales aids adopted from previous kits is a stereo viewer with color beforeand-after photos of successful remodeling jobs, which G-P said has proven to be one of the most valuable selling tools it has developed.

The complete "portable office," including the briefcase, is available for $2.50 when ordered on a company letterhead from Georgia-Pacific Corp., P.O. Box 3lI, Portland 7, Ore., Attn. Sales Promotion Dept.
