A lot of lumber is up 300-450 percent from pre-covid levels.
Prices are unreasonable. I thought the costs were due to all the forest fires but now I think it’s just price gouging using covid as the excuse. Ehen a sheet of osb jumps from 8bx a sheet to 40 bx a sheet, that’s price gouging. All it is is compressed saw dust in the first place so that kind of steep increase for that material is simple price gouging.
Tools have risen sharplt as well but I hear thats because the ship bays have become parking lots. Goods are sitting on the ships who are waiting in line for weeks to unload.
I had hoped to pick up a few tools and some wood to make a few small yard items for a couple of extra bux. With things like they are, I can put that pipe dream in the foreplace.
