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..

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.

Come on The Covid thing.. Get vaccinated.

I've been all over the world.. Get your shots and keep up your boosters.

We can talk all about how the sky is falling, BUT when it really starts fallin' you better have more than some statistics in your back pocket to prove you are vaccinated.  It could mean your life or death and how your treated in an ER. Just like the guy from Soundsmith, some weird stuff can happen. BUT like my wife's Uncle that died from it, One lived and one died. If the vaccine would have been available, neither the Uncle that passed or the kid that gave it to him would have even gotten sick..

Does that make sense to be hardheaded after that simple fact.. One lived one died.. Neither would have IF they all had been vaccinated..

Kinda like the guy in the crosswalk walking REAL SLOW, then POW.

Having the right to walk slow still doesn't stop a moving BUS.

Regards
