Looking for a trade

Have a good deal to offer

That is funny and sad all at once  I have a few home projects on hold hoping the price of plywood drops!

At the rate things are going, I'd wait a little then cut it in half and get two trucks. 1 Dodge 1 Chevy

Never thought I would see the day when 20 2x4 would cost over $200.00. Stopped Friday picked up 12- 10 ft treated and 8 precuts. $210.00 and change.

From what I'm seeing, don't expect prices to drop very much if any in the next 2-3 years.. and right now might actually be the cheap price.

To my understanding , the reason why wood is getting more and more pricey

is because they have no way of getting the wood to the lumber yard - and also mill it before it ships

( move it around and have people to handle it ) truck drivers , and people to work the mills !

if you can be patient and put off something that's not absolutely necessary - Id do that ( not to panic )

I know theirs more to this - but I believe time will only help , if we don't panic and calm down .

 

 

As a Craftsman I do have some back up - of materials I use -thou i wish i bought a few sheets

of baltic birch for a project i want to do !                  But I'll be fine and I hope you will be too !

 

One way I'm counteracting is to cut back on things that are not absolutely necessary - to help pay for things

I have to pay for ! ( a good way to loose some weight )

No low ball offers, but you are looking for a Dodge? Quite the contradiction there.

They say that when this is over,if and when,these prices are going to remain like this.

They got it pay their price. I just got 2 sheets of 3/4" for $120.

I'm glad my projects don't require construction lumber.

Just bought a sheet 1/2" ply from my lumber/mill - didn't know he had ply LOL

Anyway, cost me $36. 3/4" is running $42 from him - at least for this current load
