Building Products Digest - January 2002 by 526 Media Group

(we thought a great company deserved a greatbig 'ol headline.)

What makes Great Southern Wood great? It could be that our eight plants make us one ofthe largest treaters in the world. Or maybe it's because we feature paved yards and covered warehouses to protect our wood products. Or it could be that we own a fleet of over 200 trucks that provide timely deliveries.

Or perhaps it's because our proven marketing program brings consumers into your store. Any of those couldbe the reason. But then there are the two things that count the most - great people and a great product. That's what makes Great Southem Wood great

LJnlike a few of those so-called "maintenance-free imitation wood" ads you may have seen, you won't find any digitally enhanced or fake photos here. That's because when ir comes to decking products, norhing can replace the natural beauty and strength of real wood.

DuraPinet Outdooro Wood by Coxo is manufactured only from high-grade southern yellow pine that is strong and durable. Then, the additional step of redrying the wood after the reating prdcess results in a more dimensionally stable decking product with advantages only natural wood can provide:

. Greater strength and stiffness

. Lighter in weight and easier to handle

. Minimal expansion after installation

Up to 20 to 40% cost savings

Geated with genuine Wolmano preservative and built-in Wolman

Extrao water repellent, DuraPine

Outdoor Wood decking provides a lifetime of protection againsr decay and termite damage. And, with annual weather-protection maintenance, DuraPine Outdoor Wood will stay looking great for years.

DuraPine Outdoor Wood is a natural fit for you, your customers, and your bottom line! And it's real wood.

Honest.

Time to do everything-except think

A belated happy New Year to You all. As recent economic signs suggest a turn upwards with increasing strength in a number of leading indicators, let us all look forward positively to a successful 2002.

At this time of year we think about our New Year resolutions (most of which will already be broken bY the time you read this). Occasionally, I am asked for my cell Phone number. Many are shocked when I will not give it out. Although I carrY a cell phone, I decided about three Years ago that I did not need mY cell Phone going off every 10 minutes wherever I happened to be. You see, I had become a digital junkie, an addict. It seems I am not alone. As we sit in a cinema, church, or a restaurant, do we all really need to hear these phones going off non-stop? Have You ever looked around at a traffic signal to see almost every driver talking into a cell phone? It begs the question: do we all really need to be available everY minute of the waking day?

Similarly, it became too easy to spend half my time online. The thought of a new message just waiting for me, or discovering buddies I did not know I had, who might want to chat with me, made it compelling to get back online or check mY voice mail for the umpteenth time in the day.

At the time, I was getting uPwards of 30 voice mails a day and uPwards of 80 e-mails a day. Many were surprised to get e-mails from me at 3 a.m., and it didn't matter if I was in the U.S., the U.K. or any of l0 other ports of call. Colleagues thought it okay to call me at2 a.m.,5 a.m. or l0 p.m. regardless of the time zone I was in. This was technology in control of my life. No longer a tool, it was con-

suming me.

Now I am sure that there are People who live in a state of perfect wireless-ness, who have mobile Phones around their necks all daY, and can download from the Internet, have Palm Pilots that play music, laptops that play movies, who can track inventory back at the mill. In other words, they can do everYthing and anything electronically anywhere, anytime. However. manY PeoPle become out of control with near paranoia if a call is missed.

For me, the realitY was that the more calls and e-mails I answered, the less effective I became-and I know that to be true of manY others. We are consumed with information overload and too many demands on our time. I found that I was doing instead of managing or, more importantly, creating. My communication skills deteriorated as I answered each in the shortest possible way.

Each of us needs more time to switch off and just plain think. Time needs to be spent efficiently, not frantically answering 50 messages most of which should not have been sent in the first place. I am a great believer in technology as a tool. The difference technology has made to run our businesses is almost incalculable. The ability to work share, taP into Customer Relationship SYstems (CRM), respond instantaneously to customer requests, check Prices, inventory and shipping times, get quotes, send specifications, as well as hundreds of other uses are what technology was meant to do. So mY resolution is to not only find time to think, but to use technology positively not negatively for what it is meant to be: a tool, not a master.

Southern pine slips into down cycle

By Karl W. Lindberg President Southern Forest Products Association

f IKE so many other industries. the l-Jbusiness climate for producers of southern pine lumber remains most challenging. Just two years ago, during 1999, our industry established an all-time production record of 16.92 billion bd. ft., encouraged by falling mortgage rates. Eventually, lumber inventories exceeded demand in the closing quarter of 2000, as hints of a cyclical downturn in markets became a reality. Total production for 2000 remained a robust 16.67 billion bd. ft.

A relatively healthy housing market through the opening quarters of 2001 is what many observers believe kept our nation's economy from falling into a recession. True. housing was strong as interest rates fell further, but lumber producers were squeezed to make a profit considering their high fixed costs. Throughout 2001, a good week in the lumber business was a rare

ber industry's coffin. However brief this recession's duration, the lumber industry may be one of the last sectors to recover. Quite simply, supply still exceeds demand for lumber at this time. In light of rising unemployment and declining consumer confidence, potential home buyers may delay purchasing new homes, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades. Even a steady repair and remodeling market cannot replace the volume of lumber utilized in new housing starts, a figure that continues to drop monthly.

SFPA member companies produce half of the nation's southern pine lumber, and their outlook for 2002 is, at best, guarded. Most companies have curtailed operations and many mills have been shut down. If the poor economic climate persists, permanent closures are a distinct possibility.

A number of factors will influence business in 2002. Softwood imports from Canada continue to impact southern pine's traditional framing markets. The industry's Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports was successful in obtaining a 12.3%o countervailing duty while negotiations continue for a longterm agreement.

the logical choice to meet new phytosanitary requirements for shipments to the European Union. SFPA's efforts have explained the new regulations to pallet and crate manufacturers nationwide.

Treated lumber markets are likewise in a state of flux, but for a variety of different reasons. The EPA is expected to release its updated risk assessment for CCA-treated wood products early in 2002. A favorable determination from the EPA will aid the treating industry's campaign to refute negative consumer publicity and ongoing efforts to ban treated wood.

best, aggravated by weak markets, transportation and labor shortages. The downward production trends continued through last summer; SFPA estimates total 2001 southern pine production to be 15.6 billion bd. ft., or a decline of 6.lVo.

The economic slowdown has now officially become a recession. The events of Sept. I I are quite likely to have put the economic nail in the lum-

Another hurdle for southern pine producers is increased imports from overseas producers. Competing softwood species from Europe and South American continue to adversely impact our domestic market. A strong dollar and foreign competitors have also hampered southern pine exports throughout 2001. Southern pine was once gaining modest market share in Spain, but that is now being challenged by increased imports of African and European species. Kilndried southern pine is now recognized in the materials handline markets as

SFPA is actively participating in the newly formed Treated Wood Council (TWC) to counter environmental misinformation and to educate audiences about the merits of treated products, emphasizing their proven service track record of more than 75 years. TWC has provided the EPA's Scientific Advisory Panel with scientific studies supporting the safe use of CCA-treated products. The treating industry has cooperated with EPA to successfully launch an expanded consumer safety awareness program now highly visible at lumber retail outlets.

SFPA estimates treated lumber production to total 5.9 billion bd. ft. in 2001, dropping to 5.25 billion bd. ft. in 2002. Hopefully, the optimistic forecasters will be correct and a recovery will be underway during the second half of 2002.

Home Depot Revises Three-Year Plan

As Home Depot closed the year with sales approaching $53 billion, the company announced plans to open 200 stores a year for the next three years.

Depot also plans to add more square footage to 184 warehouses throughout 2002. while constructing l0 new Expo Design Centers.

The future will also include four new Home Depot Pro stores, the first which is scheduled to open February in Mesquite, Tx.

Additionally, the company will unveil its new Home Depot Urban stores in Chicago and New York City,

which feature a smaller size format aimed at the convenience customer.

Not all the news is optimistic, however, as Home Depot recently sold off its unprofitable stores in Brazil and Argentina, while also scrapping its four prototype Villager's Hardware stores-which focused on the convenience hardware market. The closed New Jersey stores will be re-opened as Urban stores.

On the retail floor level, Depot has completed a plan to have more workers free for customer service during peak hours, with product stocking to

be done during slower periods.

Additionally, company officials said there will be a greater emphasis on tool rentals, with rental programs put into 608 stores by the end of 2OO2 and in 1,300 stores at the conclusion of 2004.

Depot also plans to focus on the smaller professional customer with its pro initiative program, to be in 966 stores by the end of 2002.

For larger commercial/industrial customers, Depot plans to introduce its HD Supply in 2002 as well as test its Home Depot Pro format, which offers products and services similar to wholesale supply houses.

HD Supply, in turn, will utilize company account mgrs. and the outside sales staff of Depot's Maintenance Warehouse, Apex Supply and other related businesses.

Vinyl windows still see openings for growth

nESPITE a time of national uncerl-f tainty, vinyl windows should continue to increase in acceptance and demand throughout 2002. Changes in building and insurance codes, coupled with more usage of windows in new home construction, and the development of new products, will all combine to drive growth in the industry.

energy efficiency features," says Brunett. "Advances in quality window systems mean superior products for home and commercial projects."

The next step in this evolution is preparing the marketplace for products that will meet changing building and insurance codes in different geographic areas. Windows manufacturers such as Simonton are currently developing products to handle wind loads and meet coastal area conditions for specific regions.

cially popular. In addition, color, coating and laminate usage with vinyl windows should increase along with mixtures of composite materials that replicate natural, organic products.

"Certainly our country is facing a difficult time economically as a result of terrorist acts, but we feel replacement vinyl windows will continue to see growth in the coming year," says John Brunett, president of Simonton Windows. "We don't expect that increase to be as rapid as previous years. but we are anticipating some growth."

Brunett believes that new construction vinyl windows will also do well in 2002, despite a predicted flat market and steady, but decreased housing starts. "Several factors bode well for window manufacturers in 2002," he says. "First, there's an ongoing trend toward having larger windows and more mulled units in new home construction. Second, the average home has grown in size and now typically has 18 windows. That figure helps push more products into homes and will help escalate sales."

According to Brunett, the rise in vinyl sales is largely due to increased acceptance of engineered plastic products. "It's taken time, but people now understand that vinyl products offer outstandins low maintenance and

Manufacturers also have high hopes for acoustical windows, which help keep the interior of structures quieter. As more homes are built near airports and flight paths, next to busy highways and in downtown areas, there is more need for products that protect homeowner privacy. "One aspect of privacy is visual...and for that we offer acrylic blocks with obscured viewing capability in our Simonton frames," Brunett says. "Another aspect is sound.

I believe you will see large advances in the coming years in acoustical products that also offer energy efficiency benefits."

In 2002, Brunett believes that geometric styles of windows will follow the theory that "bigger is more beautiful." He envisions Gothic styles becoming espe-

He says, "2002 will definitely be an exciting year for our industry. Vinyl will continue to take market share away from aluminum and wood windows, especially in pocket areas of the southern U.S., in Texas and in California. And we're finding that all audiences-homeowners. architects. builders and remodelers-are more accepting of vinyl products and gaining more knowledge about their benefits.

"Combined, this means that even in a difficult economic year for our country, we still believe vinyl windows will experience continued growth in both the new construction and replacement arenas."

OSHA Fines Mill After Fatality

Joe N. Miles & Sons has been fined $145,350 by OSHA following a fatal accident at its Silver Creek. Ms.. mill.

A mill worker was killed May 7 when he fell 17 feet from the steel beams of a lumber sorter to the concrete floor below. The employee was trying to rearrange a misaligned wood board: he wore no fall protection.

Most of the fine came from two willful citations, lack of guardrails and personal fall protection for employees walking, first, on the lumber sorter's platforms and steel beams and, second, on a ll-ft. high conveyor belt used to access a chipper mill.

According to OSHA, management had been warned of fall hazards by its safety committee in January and

reminded monthly thereafter, yet "made no effort to abate the dangerous conditions."

OSHA also assessed a $32,850 penalty for nine serious violations, including absence of guardrails on ele-

vated platforms and walkways, lack of training on the use of fall arrest equipment, unguarded machinery, and no specific lockout procedures to render machinery inoperable during maintenance and repair.

Weyerhaeuser Ups Bid As Willamette Pursues G-P

Willamette Industries has agreed to finally meet with hostile suitor Weyerhaeuser Co. to discuss its revised $6.05 billion takeover offer.

Weyerhaeuser upped its bid by l07o three days after Willamette revealed that it had begun negotiations to possibly acquire Georgia-Pacific's building products division. Acquisition of the unit, with $7.9 billion in sales last year, 687o more than Willamette, would invalidate Weyerhaeuser's bid.

Stephen Rogel, Weyerhaeuser president and c.e.o., called the sweetened $55 per share, all-cash bid his company's "best and final offer."

Willamette's board will reconvene the first week of January to review its alternatives and, in the meantime, urged shareholders not to tender any shares until it issued its recommendation. In October, Willamette said it would negotiate only if Weyerhaeuser submitted a bid closer to $60 a share.

"On October 10, we publicly invited (Weyerhaeuser) to sit down with our investment bankers in order to set

Construction supply distributor

Truckload USA is consolidating its office and distribution operations this month in an 80,000-sq. ft. facility on 5 acres in North Dallas, Tx.

Truckload supplies home builders and contractors with electrical, plumbing, lumber, wallboard and other construction supplies.

The company, which expects firstyear sales of $20 to $30 million, was Iaunched last February by Andrew Adler, a former contractor who operated builder CityHomes until selling it last year to Centex for $43 million.

Certification Surges In Canada

In four months, third party certification of Canada's forest management practices have increased 447o to 119 million acres of certified forests-the largest area of certified forest of any country in the world.

The total represents nearly 437o of Canada's annual harvest and over 607o of its managed forest lands.

A recent Forest Products Association of Canada survey revealed that Canadian companies remain committed to certification, projecting that the level of certified forestland will jump to another 507o by 2005.

the information they needed to revise their inadequate $50 offer," said Willamette president and c.e.o. Duane McDougall. "They publicly slammed the door shut on that overture in less than two hours without so much as a phone call, and we made it clear that we intended to pursue our strategic plan. That's what we are doing."

G-P's building products unit includes a network of distribution centers and produces lumber, structural

panels, industrial wood products, gypsum and chemicals.

The sale would help G-P concentrate on its consumer products and reduce debt, primarily a result of its $11 billion acquisition of Fort James Corp. a year earlier.

Chairman and c.e.o. A.D. "Pete" Conell said Georgia-Pacific had been evaluating several dilferent strategic options, including a plan for a possible separation of the company into two entities, when it was approached by Willamette.

Builders Speak Out On SYP

Researchers at Louisiana State University recently surveyed 500 of the top U.S. home builders on their perceptions of southern yellow pine.

About 63Vo of builders stated that the species of wood used in building is

important. Eighty-five percent went on to say that they would be selective about the species of wood they would use in building a new house.

In regards to species choice,63Vo felt that spruce-pine-fir is a close substitute for SYP, followed by steel and

then concrete.

The LSU study found that 527o of builders had a "positive perception" of SYP, although 49Va felt the quality of SYP had declined (citing warping in service and a perception that SYP is grown and kiln dried too rapidly).

A clear majority (83Va) said they would be willins to build with SYP.

Spruce, Fir Deep Treatment

A Swedish firm claims that they have become the world's first company to offer a commercially viable technology that impregnates coniferous wood other than pine.

Lign Multiwood says its technology uses environmentally friendly agents and is able to penetrate to the core of such woods as spruce and Douglas fir.

"The global construction industry has been waiting for impregnated construction timber from conifers other than pine," said Lign's Curt Lindhe.

Lindhe also noted that this new technology is the first to allow timber to regain its original dimensions after impregnation.

German Mills Keep Exporting Kullik & Rullmann

German Timber Export Co., a consortium of European mills, now has sales offices in Pittsburgh, Pa., as well as in Japan and China.

Currently Kullik & Rullmann is shipping 70 containers a month of solid products and glulam beams to the U.S.

The group recently developed a new online production planning system that links the mills, allowing capacity and inventory figures to be accessed.

The exporting company has also implemented a new container loading and trucking system, as well as a claim management system.

Osmose Builds Anti-Bug House

Osmose has teamed up with a Florida contractor to build one of the mainland U.S.'s first "all borate" houses in central Florida.

This whole house method of wood treating, in which borates are applied to both the exterior and interior wood frame of the house, has been used effectively in Hawaii for some time.

"Borates have become increasingly popular among home builders over the last decade," said Osmose's George Stein. "Borate treated wood combines the advantages of wood construction, such as durability and energy-efficiency, plus structural protection in termite prone areas."

Wood can be treated with borates at the manufacturing facilty or later on the job site where cut ends can be touched up with brush applications. Additionally, borates are dispensed in sprays and concentrates that can be applied pre- and post-construction to interior and exterior wood.

U.S. Lumber Totals To Drop in 2$)2

An uncertain economy, shaky consumer confidence and continuing U.S. actions overseas will most likely reduce U.S. lumber demand this year.

Western Wood Products Association expects levels to decline 2.87o to around 51.7 billion bd. ft. of lumber in 2002.

New home starts, which performed better than expected in 2001, are expected to dip to 1.52 million this year. As a result, lumber used in residential construction will likely fallto 19.9 billion bd. ft. Lumber usage in the repair/remodeling market is expected to decline 2.5Vo to l5.8 billion bd. ft.

Overall U.S. lumber imports are expected to drop off 4.6Va in 2002 due to an anticipated 5.2c/o decrease in Canadian shipments.

Imports from Europe and New Zealand are fbrecast to increase in 2002, but will still only represent a small share of the overall lumber supply.
