Why the cost increase?


I went to buy materials for a speaker project. I also priced some T-111 siding on 8" centers, 5/8 thick, Ship lap.
I hadn’t picked up any sheets or anything in over 18 months.

48" x 96 x 5/8 wood siding was 19-26.00 and on sale 15-20.00 per sheet, NOW 74-84.00 per sheet.

MDF 3/4" 48 x 96" if you can find it. 45-55.00 per sheet it was 22.00 to 27.00 per sheet.

2x4x8 DF stud grade 1.99-3.00 per. Now 4-6.00 per stud,

There is no shortage but there sure is a LOT of price gouging. NOTHING changed. Just the price..

The quality is worse. The workers aren’t paid worth a crap...Why the increase?

I’m getting ready to finish my home out. WOW.. I might have to rethink this a bit..

The price all most tripled in 12-18 months.. This kind of stuff is NOT cool at ALL.

Just my opinion of course. Any projects you’re doing get put on hold or STOPED?

YES I’m very frugal. Money never came easy, and it leaves the same way..

Hey Capt. Fly by Night, (earlflynn, skypunk, whatever)
All the hesitancy was being done by just about everyone until they heard from the CDC. This is known history. Look it up. Couple that with the thousands of lies that Rump made, along with his absolving of China, promoting chlorine injections and somehow getting intense light into your body, and many a person was hesitant to believe him. Remember, he didn’t want to do anything about the virus as he thought it would hurt his chances of winning and spook the economy. We all know how that played out.

Besides, you said you weren’t for Rump or anyone, for that matter, so why the turn around and attacks for one group and groveling subservience for the other? Do you fancy yourself taking over Keith Schiller’s job of following Rump around with that briefcase full of Adderall and diapers?

It is said that a wise person can change their mind. As the facts on the ground changed, so did their (the Dems) positions on getting the vaccine which Rump could have sped up but refused to do so.

On another note, you gotta stop banging you head on the laps you swim. Stick your arm out instead.

All the best,
Nonoise
