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..

nonoise,
I guess that I just think that this is the wrong place. Political talk just spawns a lot of mental noise, and if you enjoy it, which I know that many people do, I think that’s fine, but this just isn’t the place.
I also wonder why you would say that I, if anyone should see the difference.
No hard feelings, just my opinion.

I’m not saying who is representing who in the little clip, but is anybody paying attention to ol Elmer?

He’s quit happy to blow the (big mouths) bill right off. He don’t care who he shoots, BUT he shot someone EVERY time. :-( maybe :-) I don’t know I have to think on that one..

There is a lot going on in that clip.. Master M, what do you think? :-)

Defective ACME shotgun shells, only thing I can figure.. LOL They just blow his BILL off..

"Despicable" Mercy... as he reattached his BILL.. Talking to the Rabbit not the guy that shot his dumb a$$

Kinda like what’s going on right here, Forest, Trees.. OH there is a tiger tank in the forest TOO.. (Elmer)

I say keep lookin' UP....

Regards

roxy45, 
I understand the frustration you feel as I too think this place should be an audio only place. I really don't care to know I'm discussing audio with horrible people but they keep posting nonsense to the point where I can't take it anymore. 

To be honest, I've thought of abandoning this place many, many months ago as it's gone to the dogs.

I only said that if anyone, you should see the difference meaning I took your post to be a kind of false equivalency in what I do in response to what they do. I wouldn't utter a word about politics if they'd just stick to audio. If I'm mistaken, I apologize.

Soon I'll be getting my next and hopefully last acquisition and I intend to go down periscope and not come back for some time. This place gives me the creeps.

All the best,
Nonoise

@invalid  and @roxy54  well said.

@nonoise   "right wing media sites dominate the landscape."
What planet do you live on?

I swear to Christ you've lost your freaking mind.

I wouldn't say you have a domination of the landscape when anything pro conservative is censored, demonetized or de-platformed.
