Lumber Prices Going Back Up!

[kmmcrafts]

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
