Recycle tossed lumber , become a dumpster diver and alley crawler .... a planer and joiner in yer workshop and you’re back in business . The next depression era is upon us.
No doubt about that.
Don’t have the money to buy tools like that plus I don’t make any stuff unless We need it for home.
Going off the graph, lumber’s normally $2-400, and is currently at $650. So on an average of $300, it’s over 100% more expensive, not just 50% more.
Nor do I but Im collecting tools and old lumber ......tried to get girl friday to help but she said ...... not tonight I have a headache .
I could have said 50 to 100% increase based on price fluctuations, but I chose 50% as a reflection of the title and a conservative estimate of the price change.
