Something like 2%. When I bought my first house '72 we paid 15.5%!!!! That's inflation. No, it is not hyper - but it is up 3 1/2% since January and expected to reach 5 by October! Mortgage Interest rates are also on the rise - I believe you'll see actual backlash if it hits 10 - unlike the 70's where nothing was done OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwine Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I had to make a quick purchase of 2 sheets of 1/8 inch bb ply and a sheet of 1/4 inch bb ply this morning. I called a wood shop over in Lubbock, TX and the prices was still about the same as a year ago or maybe a little longer. the total price for the ply came to $56.50 but the shipping from there to here at Alamogordo, NM was $63.00! Now thats bad when the shipping is more than the product! That's the problem I have about living here in the desert southwest, either take a road trip or order the wood! One is about as expensive as the other! Erv OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Well, if push came to shove, I'd opt for the road trip. Nice scenery out your way. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
