I'm having a deja vu feeling about this  :-/ ,  but many search attempts here don't come up with it, so here goes. Please forgive if it's here and easy to find.

This is an online calculator for joist and rafter spans. It takes into account wood species, size and grade, defelction linits, spacing, loads, etc. It's a marvelous tool and all the more because it is free for use.  Shocked
