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..

Still tying to "own and libs" and failing miserably.
Of course you're bored: you're not winning any points here. 

All the best,

Yes, you do have the right not to get vaccinated but you don’t have the right to infect others.



If your vaccinated you should have nothing to worry about, so why are you worried about being infected.

Invalid,

I think you’re missing the whole point.  I am vaccinated, and I have very little concern about my susceptibility to Covid-19 at least for the short term.  What I am concerned about is the health and welfare of TENS of MILLIONS of Americans and BILLIONS of people in the world that are not vaccinated.  Comments posted earlier in this thread literally can and will likely contribute to the deaths of uncountable people after false information is posted and reposted elsewhere.  It spreads.  This spreading of false, politically motivated crap has a very dear cost in very real terms.  People are dying from this disease that don’t have to die.  It’s as simple and as complicated as that.
