All material costs have gone through the roof. There are two reasons. The first one is simply supply and demand. The coof shutdown put a YUGE dent in the supply of manufactured goods as well as the materials used to make them. the second reason is inflation due to the insane expansion of the money supply by the Banksters who are printing trillions for the retarded congress commies. Get yourselves a wheelbarrow now, so you can carry enough dollars to buy a loaf of bread. We have become the Wiemar Republic.
I'd say there's another reason- increased demand. How many buildings has BLM and Antifa burned down in the past year? How many billions of dollars in damage? A lot of that is being rebuilt, which takes building supplies, including lumber, driving up the prices further, making future damages even more costly.
It's the Austrian Business Cycle. Go to mises.org to learn more.
The Fed has kept interest rates near 0 for a decade to make people invest in long term projects.
However, people aren't saving enough money to actually justify such low interest rates.
Usually, if you save money, it means (a) there's more money to lend and (b) you're not buying a bunch of shit, and (c) you have a job producing something.
However, now, we have (a) everyone's buying, (b) no one's saving, and on top of that (c) no one's working and (d) everyone's building massive infrastructure.
This is unsustainable. Obviously.
It's going to hit everything related to construction first. After all, the best way to spend trillions before it's only worth billions (inflation kills the value of money) is to build giant buildings on land.
We're about to see the biggest collapse in history.
Buy bitcoin - the printed money ("lowered interest rates") have to go somewhere.
They'll have to pull the plug on Bitcoin eventually (I know... it's block chain, blah blah blah). They will find a way to destroy it and leave everyone holding worthless e-wallets, after they pull their own money first.
Its completely within Congress's purview to ban the trade of a currency within the US. They could do it, it could be done by Executive Order, and tbh, I see it being a 9-0 at the Court. The most Conservative Justices are going to be weary of this eFiat currency, the most liberal will worry about the electricity and Roberts is obsessed with his legacy as the great negotiator.
I think whichever country does this will be at a major disadvantage to the countries that embrace it.
If America says "all BTC is illegal, grr!", (a) they can't actually prevent people from using it via coinjoins, etc, and (b) it's a giant industry of very hi-tech hardware, (c) the rest of the world still wants sound money, so the price will continue to rise, (d) the countries that embrace it will get these windfalls the most.
It makes MUCH more sense to embrace it rather than fight it.
The FED will cry, but America's better off without them. The war industry will cry, but the US has been invading countries for no reason since I was born (save Trump-years). Democrats' "pay for votes" scheme will die off.
Whoever can hack BTC will be able to get 1 trillion. If there a way to hack it, it would've happened by now.
For the ones that did save what do they do with it? Bitcoin seems like it's about to burst and going to be shut down eventually. Gold, silver? Ammo ???
Bitcoin is gold, but weightless, its own ledger, and its own payment system, all without the need for liars.
Gold and silver are obsolete at this point.
If BTC is worth $200k in Canada, and the US made BTC illegal, most people would just "take a vacation" to Canada, find someone to exchange for cash, and transfer the under-the-suspicion-amount of Canadian money to USD.
Hell, who would want the rapidly-inflated USD, anyway? If Canada had to maintain its money's value against BTC, it would QUICKLY become more valuable than the USD, and Americans would start using CanDollars over shitty USDs.
Or do the same thing in whatever country they can travel to.
What's a $6000 round trip ticket to Tokyo when you can easily bring home millions?
Hell, the only reason to stay in the US at that point would be the slowly-dying 2A.
Everything is treated with some kind of chemical in this country. The ones I used actually came from a place that makes furniture. Wood came on the pallets. Ironic huh?
Lots of houses going up in my neighborhood. I'm raiding the dumpsters for my raised beds. Amazing what they throw out. Usually only involves removing a few nails.
Fucking lumber doubled in price. These fucks don’t want you having your own home to the point that they are making it too damn expensive to improve or repair existing properties
Just imagine what you could do with with all that property tax money they steal from you. Remember, the government will never come by and repaint your house or business with that money. High taxes and costs always lead to degradation of infrastructure and buildings.
When I go back to Michigan to visit family it never changes, libtard states dump so much in property taxes can’t do anything to upgrade and if they do, taxes go up. Tennessee all the way!
What they didn't detail was that they meant private equity, as in pension funds buying up single family homes and draining supply because there's nowhere else safe to park their investments.
Doubled? Those are rookie numbers! In Central Texas a sheet of mdf plywood is $40. 5 years ago it was less than 8 bucks. Don't even talk about ammo, home defense frangible 9MM is 2.50 A ROUND! Load your own? I hope you have primers, they are nearly 50 cents each right now. Good news though, gas dropped by 4 cents, and is now only 65 cents a gallon more than it was in January.
Huge amount of construction started happening during the virus because people were home and had more time to do home improvement or be there while they hired someone else to work on their house. It's not a conspiracy, just the economic fallout of the lockdown.
like you said, people were home and a lot were raking in more money than normal, so they started doing home improvement projects.
Interest rates were way down, so a lot of people, like my wife and I, bought land and started building our forever home.
Lots of restaurants and bars built and/or expanded outdoor dining areas to bring in more business.
Lockdowns for the fake virus/pandemic interrupted supply chains like crazy, all over the place.
Our homebuilder gave us our quote in June/July last year I think, then we got our construction loan finalized and started clearing our land in mid August. By the time the foundation was built, the price of lumber had gone up, and already started coming back down, but we owe an extra $15,000 for lumber. Now, it's over twice that.
Supply chains have been messed up for over a year now. The appliance store we went to, that coordinates with our contractor, was going to have trouble getting the refrigerator we wanted. They're a small operation and not a priority for over burdened manufacturers who have fallen for the fake pandemic narrative and laid off substantial amounts of workers. We ended up buying our fridge at Lowes, and they delivered it a few weeks later. It's sitting in our garage now - I told our contractor that we'd just bring it with us when we move in.
We actually don’t get a lot of lumber from here in California anymore. Most of the wood in California comes from Montana these days, and Canada.
The Canadian slowdown is the biggest culprit in all this. Their lockdowns have dropped their exports to their lowest levels in a long time, and lumber is like their biggest export next to petroleum.
I just realized you were talking about rebuilding, lol. Not a whole lot of that is happening up north yet, due to all the new restrictions on construction. I’m sure that also plays a part though, but not as much as you’d expect.
I think there's also the piece where many sawmills shut down during the height of it all so they're now trying to ramp back up to meet backlog & new demand.
Yeah, there has been none stop construction in my area so I didn't think about companies reducing the amount of lumber needed because of the pandemic. I thought it was Biden F-ud something up.
Lumber is a commodity. Saw mills/lumber companies buy lumber by projecting how much they will be able to sell in the months ahead.. At the beginning of the lockdowns most mills figured there would be less demand so therefore they bought less. They also laid off some workers.
What actually happened was demand for lumber actually increased because people couldn't go on vacation, were stuck at home and spent their vacation money on remodeling their home and DIY projects.
Same thing happened with the chip shortage, too. Car manufacturers thought there'd be decreased demand, cancelled orders, and instead more people bought cars. Now there aren't enough microcontrollers to go around, and TSMC says it'll last into 2022. Of course, if China does invade Taiwan, TSMC will be blowing up their fabs (seriously, they're rigged to self destruct if need be), and then it might last for a decade...
God no shit. I’ve been saving up to build a house for a LONG time now. once I was getting ready to start getting and organizing supplies I realized after my calculations that my original estimates were half what it’s actually gonna cost. I did my original calculations three years ago so I was saving up under the assumption a 2/4 still cost 4 bucks or something. Nope. I need an extra 30k dollars to achieve the same quality and size house. and since I’m doing everything in my power to work outside Of the banking system it’s making it very difficult. My father who is a master builder/contractor Is helping and advising me. he’s getting up there in age So this will be the last thing he builds. I’d be a fool to not make use of that kind of genius To pass on to me and then the next generation.
With the rising price of lumber, it will vastly increase thr price of new homes and price a lot of people out of the market. Older homes will also see price increases as people search for scarce housing, can you say inflationary period on the horizon.
The Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in the middle of a housing boom, leading to higher unemployment and reduced supply of housing.
The Fed excludes single family home sales because housing quality changes. In the 70s, houses had modest kitchens and bathrooms with tile counters and linoleum floors. These materials were cheap and durable. Today, fashion demands marble, travertine, and granite. Kitchens are massive rooms with big islands, and bathrooms are private oases. It’s hard to do an apples-to-apples price comparison it such a changing market, which is why houses are excluded.
The consumer price index measures a basket of consumer items, food, and energy. Volatile Energy is sometimes excluded to focus on “core CPI”. There’s a cool interactive if you want to see exactly what’s in the market basket, and how prices Chang month to month:
Isn't the index based on durable goods, food, energy...gas,electric, gasoline. If transportation costs go up all others will follow in an inflationary curve. Are you talking about stagflation like in the 70's?
Yes, CPI is based on those things, yes transportation can drive inflation, but retailers are slow to increase prices, as buyers will shift to other goods rather than pay higher prices, so those increases are buffered by price elasticity. Input changes have to be broad, deep, and sustained to move inflation.
Stagflation is curious. The Fed has been pumping unlimited dollars into the money supply for over a decade with very little impact on inflation. The economy was humming before the plandemic. It’s hard to say what’s going on under the current artificially imposed constraints. It’s certainly a shitshow.
"retailers are slow to increase prices, as buyers will shift to other goods rather than pay higher prices" - let's not forget "hidden inflation" i.e. where they try to keep things at the same price point or thereabouts by shrinking the quantity.
It would behoove a lot of people to have their home insurance policies re-evaluated. Yes, the premiums are going to go up, but you have to consider that the cost to rebuild is substantially higher.
With riot season approaching who could get mad at some enterprising people visiting their local starbucks and footlockers etc and removing the plywood for their own use? Protests are mostly peaceful and the very idea of boarding up woke storefronts is abhorrent and rayciss.
My Home Depot stocks been hitting all time highs and I used to work there. The bad part is this is all part of inflation. I think this year will be okay but I'm expecting a huge market crash in 2022.
most expensive place I know
Fact. Been using pallets and scrap wood to build my raised beds for my garden because wood has quadrupled in price since the coof hit
“IS THERE A SHORTAGE OF TREES?”
Lumberyard near me went out of business recently. Shame. Was there for probably 40 years or more. Plan to destroy america coming along nicely.
That sucks. Any idea why lumber in particular has been hit so hard?
All material costs have gone through the roof. There are two reasons. The first one is simply supply and demand. The coof shutdown put a YUGE dent in the supply of manufactured goods as well as the materials used to make them. the second reason is inflation due to the insane expansion of the money supply by the Banksters who are printing trillions for the retarded congress commies. Get yourselves a wheelbarrow now, so you can carry enough dollars to buy a loaf of bread. We have become the Wiemar Republic.
Millions of people stuck in their homes for months doing home improvement projects as well.
I'd say the summers being so peaceful that stores needing to board up their windows also has an effect on lumber prices.
The fires in and around Oregon didn't help
I’d say the third reason is big retailers like Walmart and Amazon that basically made small businesses impossible
Doesn't address lumber specifically
I'd say there's another reason- increased demand. How many buildings has BLM and Antifa burned down in the past year? How many billions of dollars in damage? A lot of that is being rebuilt, which takes building supplies, including lumber, driving up the prices further, making future damages even more costly.
Or, get some pre-65 silver coins.

It must be all that predatory purchasing!!
Hot tip. Invest in plywood...
Lol, you missed it. you're supposed to buy low and then sell now.
Unless the underlying issue is resolved, the trend will continue.
Markets approaching monopoly.
Nope. But the mills don’t try to meet demand, they cut the same amount no matter what. If there is not enough profit, they close a mill.
Ahh gotcha. It’s probably due to Fagmart.
Ya fucken greta tunsberh
Be careful using pallets, make sure they are the ones not treated with bad chemicals.
Everything is treated with some kind of chemical in this country. The ones I used actually came from a place that makes furniture. Wood came on the pallets. Ironic huh?
Damn that's a great idea.
Lots of houses going up in my neighborhood. I'm raiding the dumpsters for my raised beds. Amazing what they throw out. Usually only involves removing a few nails.
Tearing skids apart was a pain in the ass but all it cost was sweat and a few splinters... ;-)
Be careful with pallets, they are coated in chemicals to preserve the wood.

I remember the Greaseman. He was killed by Howard Stern
Sgt greaseminelli, lawman grease and so many other great skits. He was talented!
Gun stores might be a close second.
Ammo.
Fucking lumber doubled in price. These fucks don’t want you having your own home to the point that they are making it too damn expensive to improve or repair existing properties
Just imagine what you could do with with all that property tax money they steal from you. Remember, the government will never come by and repaint your house or business with that money. High taxes and costs always lead to degradation of infrastructure and buildings.
You didn't build that!
When I go back to Michigan to visit family it never changes, libtard states dump so much in property taxes can’t do anything to upgrade and if they do, taxes go up. Tennessee all the way!
That must be the "re-imagining of housing equity" these politicians keep yammering on about.
What they didn't detail was that they meant private equity, as in pension funds buying up single family homes and draining supply because there's nowhere else safe to park their investments.
That's not to only thing Houghton MI wanted a Steel Dock or some shit. and because of Rona the initial estimated cost Doubled.
Love me some Houghton! "Snowiest city in the US"
Demand doubled with everybody on covid vacation. Everyone was building a new deck, finishing their basements, etc.
A buddy of mine built a huge deck last summer and was crying about how scarce lumber was.
Not only don’t they want you having your own home, but they’re going after single family housing in general.
Smells good too
It really does. 👌

I was expecting to see an ammo store
Take me somewhere that's empty.
And has a really long waiting line in the morning with people setting up lawn chairs
Ammoseek.com
Ammobuy.com
You’re welcome.
SGammo.
All that does is find high price ammo
It finds you available ammo, what’s in stock only, and it isn’t much more expensive than what you will get at the store.
Exactly.
And expensive ammo is better than nothing, if you don't already have ample supplies.
Hey, if the folks in Detroit can manage...
First it was the TP aisle, now it's the plywood aisle.
Let's change it from throwing toilet paper to throwing plywood.
I was going to make up a joke about carpentry, but I can’t think of any that wood work.
I saw what you did there I think you nailed it
Screw you guys and your dad jokes
'Screwed and glued' has to fit together with this somehow ...
You could probably dovetail those two words jointly in that sentence.
You say that tongue-in-groove, surely
Hahaha lumber.
I'm so board of this, it's knot funny to oPine anymore.
What kinds of jokes wood you prefer?
Knot funny!
Are you branching into comedy now?
I saw what you did there.
Because fat old people might die.
Wood's so expensive now. Can't even build a little table for less than like $100
Plywood Acres is the place to be

Thank you for the info.
I hope that it never needs to be used, but there's some good info in there.
You're welcome fren, I hope it's not needed as well. But it is better to have ot and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
I have several more manuals pdf's and general information as soon as I get to my PC I will post more of them.
Can someone tell me why the price on lumber went up?
Huge amount of construction started happening during the virus because people were home and had more time to do home improvement or be there while they hired someone else to work on their house. It's not a conspiracy, just the economic fallout of the lockdown.
It was a perfect storm:
like you said, people were home and a lot were raking in more money than normal, so they started doing home improvement projects.
Interest rates were way down, so a lot of people, like my wife and I, bought land and started building our forever home.
Lots of restaurants and bars built and/or expanded outdoor dining areas to bring in more business.

Almost forgot - I'm sure the fires out west had a lot to do with the lumber shortage also.
We actually don’t get a lot of lumber from here in California anymore. Most of the wood in California comes from Montana these days, and Canada.

Because lumber workers were sent home
I don't understand why they did this, the area I live at has been building non stop. I guess they had to take precautions.
A damn 2x4 stud is now $8+. That's f'n nuts!
I bought sheets in October for $29. Now they are $89
i got some birch plywood for $50 dollars in august, seemed expensive but it was my first wood purchase so i thought it was normal
My home price is going up by the day!
I thought they would be eating at an ammo shop
That's for the ultra wealthy
Fucking wire too... you’d think a spool of Romex is gold plated Monster Cables now
Most electricians in the US pay a lot more for supplies now it's also destroying plumbing, construction, and the building department.
Prices going up faster than the biden vote tally at 4am.
Can confirm dropped 1700 on crates that cost 750 last year. And don't get me started on steel prices.

Fuck Joe Biden.
I'm trying to reno right now and this triggers me 😡
I tore down some walls and kept all the old studs. Took me HOURS to get the nails out but damn that’s like $500 of wood now.
Our $10k Reno now being double that is only helped by the fact my house is worth more. My bank account hurts.
FUCKEN SPICY 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Take that bitch to a gasstation, eat overpriced sushi, get diarreha and watch the prices skyrocket because child sniffer XIDEN!
With the rising price of lumber, it will vastly increase thr price of new homes and price a lot of people out of the market. Older homes will also see price increases as people search for scarce housing, can you say inflationary period on the horizon.
Houses are not included in the inflation index
Just like gas. That makes sense 🙄

Glad I bought Weyerhaeuser stock earlier this year.
RFP has been treating me well since I got in a month or so ago, up 34%.
Sheet of sanded 4x8 plywood
Local Home Depot $50 Local Lowe’s $70
Outrageous both of them.
Is it just me or does the faggy looking dude in the pic look like Eric Swallowswell?
My little lumber stack is going to be worth as much as my ammo stack soon. 💎🙌
Bought some rural land to GTFO of the city, trying to find - builder, but even with the lumber prices builders are fully booked.
Land prices going up too.
$60 for fucking plywood
context?
With riot season approaching who could get mad at some enterprising people visiting their local starbucks and footlockers etc and removing the plywood for their own use? Protests are mostly peaceful and the very idea of boarding up woke storefronts is abhorrent and rayciss.
So fucking true. Had to get more studs today twice. Both times the prices were raised....
Prices going up faster than the biden vote tally at 4am.
OMGAHH I JUST GOT MY FIRST 1776🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
On a Home Depot meme lmao!!
My Home Depot stocks been hitting all time highs and I used to work there. The bad part is this is all part of inflation. I think this year will be okay but I'm expecting a huge market crash in 2022.
Lol
Is that Swalwell and fang fang?
Remember fellas, she definitely wants wood
I would be fine with that. I like hardware stores. I like the smell of freshly cut lumber.
Could also slap a gas station in there too
When did our Lumberjacks go from badasses to that Montey Python skit?
I was looking to build a shed this Summer too. Scratch that for the foreseable future.
A year ago, I was paying $7.85 a sheet for OSB, now it's $53. 2x4s were $2.50, now they're $6. $3.50 for 2x6s, now they're $13.
Gun shop would be more appropriate, but this is funny nonetheless!
Lul
Trying to buy a home. New construction shot up 30 grand since listed simply because lumber is out of control.
hah
What’s up with all the lumber memes?
im so happy there's a place where i can see memes i actually relate to instead of 'tik tok LOL'
Wow that's the best I've seem today, shared with all my hard working friends. Cauz I don't have lasy or woke friends anyway
