Fine by me.
I put off a couple of unessential projects last year because of prices. Might be a good summer to have some fun building again

I did too. The deck really needs to be redone but it'll keep. Had to re-roof the barn in January of '21 due to a tree fall and the contractor nearly fainted when he found out what had happened to plywood prices over the preceding two weeks. He had to station two of his crew at his usual sources to snap up whatever came up for sale before it was gone. And I was lucky.

Same here. I need 15 sheets of T1-11. It was 70$ a sheet! I will consider purchasing it now.

That is awesome, my brother got some quotes for window replacement and a replacement front deck floor and a few joists. Windows were $22K for 11 windows and a slider door. For the deck, it was similarly high. He wants me to do it, and I can save him money and fill me pockets to boot. TIME TO START....

Like you, the fun starts when you forget what day or time it is on a project.
