Make sure you take that in with you at night. You wouldn't want it to get stolen!

the customer always absorbs the cost. Your paying mostly to recover from the shut down. backpay

get off the porch and get back in.

I purchased 2 2x4x8 pine boards today . Total was almost an even $20 with tax.

Are plumbing supplies seeing the same cost increases?

Plumbing, Electrical, fixtures. it is all going through the roof due to supply. Lumber it the more costly aspect so that is why you are hearing about it but everything is up.

That would be SPF. I bet they also sell YP or yellow pine but probably not DF or Douglas fir around here. The line workers in the mobile home plants where I worked hated YP. It is denser and if you break the bundle you better use it quick.

I got into a Canadian forestry industry magazine, there's a lot of capacity that will come back on line during the 4th quarter of this year, there will be a lot of catch up, but that's when you may see an increase in stumpage prices.

We were thinking about doing some projects around here but we'll wait until the crazy prices of supplies comes back down. Maybe this time next year.

All metal products, conduit, wire, etc, has gone up significantly from electrical supply houses. I imagine plumbing is seeing the same. Most material is up 20-25% since August. Some stuff is even more

Random lengths lumber has tripled since the beginning of 2020.

I bought some bags of gravel. They were 30% higher than last year. Really, gravel?

Yes it has, even though it's expected to start going down in the 4th Qtr, the maximum expected fall is half, some time next year.

Plumbing has not gone up like lumber, just a little bit for plumbing. I hear copper is high, but it's not used much anymore

Plywood is tax free in hurricane areas this week

Nice one

Welding metal/pipe ditto. Bought some steel plate yesterday.....they did not even provide Vaseline to ease the pain. Having a hard time even finding pipe....usually have to substitute and take what they got.

Man I wouldn't count on it. We thought pricing would be better right now last fall and it hasn't slowed down yet. OSB was 42.99 a sheet the other day. We were paying 7 dollars a sheet this time last year. It's stupid crazy right now

They probably sent that before they check stock. Dallas people will pay it. and are already waiting....

It's somewhat like a snowball rolling down hill. The lumber prices will cause new houses to go up, next existing houses will have a price increase, then your taxes increase, and finally your homeowners insurance.

Nothing new. It is call inflation. It happened in a giant way after the big war.

Pay checks also went up.

Love happy endings.

Paychecks didn’t go up in 2020, not where I work

Everyone should have a little rainy day fund. Never heard of a snowy day fund. Rome wasn`t built in a day,

Last fall production came to a screeching halt.....to believe reasonable people aren’t going to at least wait until inventory is back to pre shut down levels? I’m gonna wait and advise my clients to do the same....there is a very small percentage of the overall population that can absorb paying 25-150% increases for building materials.......
