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..

Now now.. I got a funny felling bologna never touched his mouth..

Though I heard he was a fast food eater..

Looked a lot like a burger, fries and shake kind of guy to me..

I'll take that over a VEGAN, that just ain't American.. (My sister in law for 50 years). But she does look 40 and she is almost 80.. No kidding. Retired from the Pan Am era on up in flight attendants.

Yup a lot of great stories.. like the King from Tonga. She weighed 105 tops. He was looking for a NEW Tongan queen.. LOL. Three seats wide..
she sat in part of the 4th one. 747 back then..
5-600 pounder.. Little fluffy!!

She told him she was already married, didn't really care to be # 5 or 6..

Regards

You can count on devilboy to live up to his moniker. Don't fall for his act. That's all it is. Consider him a 3rd rate crisis actor deep in the thrall of whatever his handlers tell him to believe. All he's capable of is regurgitating what his idols say on boob tube. Just look at his atrocious word salad of recriminations.

He supposedly loves America yet supports insurrectionists beating and maiming police with Blue Lives Matter and American flags.

All the best,

Simple didn’t like Roosevelt, Liked Truman, Liked Eisenhower, didn’t like Kennedy, Johnson, or Nixon, Ford was just a question mark? I liked Carter, couldn’t stand Reagan and Liked Bush Sr. From then on forget it..

I hated Trump when he started, I loved him when he finished, I just got ticked because he wasn’t paying attention.. He lost on purpose I think.. Needed to dip his fingers back into the business.

4 years without being in charge of his companies.. He couldn’t stand it..

The only reason I liked him is because I KNEW he’s a NO GOOD, plane and simple.. Crap sturrin’ SOB.. I liked him.

The new guy.. Mercy what a mess.. He won’t make through an 8 year term and no ones is gonna hire his VP.. Never happen..

You got it.. Trump in 3 years a and a few months. No way around it.. Health problems are the only unknown.
Cruz, Carson or Rubio for a VP. Pence is OUT of there for sure..

I just want to build a set of speakers and fix my house.. :-)

Fuel did drop 20 cents per gallon. People were getting ticked around here, REAL ticked.. My neighbor drives 190 miles a day 6 days a week in a less than 20 mpg PU full of stucco/plaster gear. He's a saint.. 300.00 a week for fuel.

500.00 for food, 1200.00 for fuel per month. Something is wrong...
