kmmcrafts Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I haven't been to the lumber store in over a year I think.. I still have enough to probably get me through most of this year since I have picked up a lot of cut offs etc. from my brothers mill. I'll likely need some BBply by early summer though. My local news did a report saying the prices are heading back up due to covid.. and short supply etc. scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not surprising the way things have been going. Been holding off for BB but think I'll just bite the bullet now and continue to watch things. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 We are having a garage built and within a week of us trying to make a decision on some things the price of materials jumped 10%. Good news is our house has almost doubled in value due to the housing market. scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwine Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) I have been watching the price of construction lumber on the stock market and it is approaching $1200 again and I think that is for 1000 board feet, not sure about that, but it is on the way back up!

scrollingforsanity Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Went to buy some BB plywood Today and left the store without any. I checked the price in December and it was $ 18.99 for a 5x5 sheet. Today it was $ 34.99. I have some stock but not enough to last the year. Going to wait and see if it goes up more or comes down a bit. I don't think my customers would stand me doubling my prices. Might have to find a new hobby.

I was paying 15 a sheet last year and 35 a few weeks ago. But in perspective, everything else has gone up as well. Too bad we can't raise our prices like that. But I won't quit my work. I just find ways of being more efficient to offset the costs increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Eicehelberger Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I am down to several pieces of scrap 1/4 &1/8 BB might get some ornaments off it but will have to buy more , I through my change into a coffee can every night to buy BB ply with so I may have enough for a couple sheets. This is what I call my slush fund. from old Navy days. You can't even find cheep ply at HD any more it seems like BB ply is cheaper. No matter what I will keep on scrolling I have a goal to meet Scroll till I am ninety 8 years to go. IKE Jim Blume and Jaguarguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
