In case you\'re wondering, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has issued a press release announcing the revolutionary new standard 05.3.2008.
This paradigm changing standard will rock your world if that world is concerned with solid sawn-wood crossarms and braces - specifications and dimensions.
Crossarms, of course, are the horizontal wooden do-thingy at the top of a utility pole. We\'ve gone seven long years since the last update and the standards certainly aren\'t keeping up with the almost daily changes in loblolly and southern pine technology.
