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..

Not me buddy. Not to often I use the "Report" button, though there is one individual giving a few of us poor fusers a run for our money.. LOL

Like the Grand Nagus Zek said, "It’s like trying to teach Klingons" DS9.

I read them, I just don't remember what they said. Something about rigged elections or something.. Probably self deleted. I didn't read anything to wild.. Moderators usually look for multiple repeated post. A little finger pointing.. LOL I don't think so..

Well, someone reported them.
And none of them were in the least bit offensive, they were actually amusing.
They got deleted quicker than the Afghan army surrendered.

Not this garbage again the election was not rigged and nothing devilboy said in his post actually happened. The possible exception being Republican poll watchers possibly being kicked out of polling places which is because they practice voter intimidation.

We they your? I glanced over them I didn't see anything crazy.. I just didn't pay attention who wrote what..

The last election.. Kind of yesterdays news. Sure ain't gonna change a thing, about who's who in the ZOO.. That's for darn sure..

I got important things to think about, like the cost of rabbit food doubling..
and a 4 x 8 x 3/4 sheet of MDF costing 55.00 dollars a sheet.

Why would a fixed election be a problem.. At least you know who's gonna win.. Like any of the real (lifer) CLOWNS in DC don't know how to maneuver an election around.. Been going on (that I know of) sense the Kennedy's. Trump just got out flanked.. Tricky bunch, the old guard in DC. Any 5 there, there is 150 years between them.. Slimy is more like it though.. YUK...

I just wonder if they ALL spit after a big meating. That is spelled correctly.. :-)

There is always a next time. Watch..
 
Kinda like Clay vs Liston, where did that punch come from?
I loved Muhammad Ali, BUT that KO didn't happen.. Someone fell down, he just wasn't knocked down.. LOL

You see that 626R I want to do it with a neo 10, AC G1 G2 or G3 with a rear firing neo 8 and a 8" HO reference bass driver.. (30 hz no problem) 60hz to 40KHz

Not a fan of bass in the monitor cabinet, we'll see..

Two years I've had the drivers. Now to come up with the energy.. :-)
