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..

Re: millercarbon’s prior post “Science? In Australia last week a health minister read off the following shocking statistic as if it didn’t matter: 140 out of 141 patients hospitalized had been fully vaccinated. 5 out of 4 in ICU were fully vaccinated.”, this would seem a relevant link: https://www.aap.com.au/no-hospitalised-covid-19-patients-in-nsw-arent-all-vaccinated/

As for the 5 out of 4 claim, I’ll have to keep looking. Science indeed.

So typical. The statement was actually corrected during the news conference but that doesn’t matter. When the facts and science aren’t on your side you have to make sh$t up.

False – Content that has no basis in fact.
Gotta love the conclusion. Thanks for the link.

All the best,
