I hear ya, you’re right. I’m in the middle of renovating a 1954 block home in FL. Jacked the concrete foundation to replace the old iron pipes instead of being cheap and running them in the attic. Got insulated dbl hung, low e windows with a tint. Bagged the old pink fiberglass and replacing with R30 rockwool. There’s local specialty shops i support as well. Even they have been low on supplies. Last week, NO body in town had plastic, single gang boxes on the shelves or exterior gfi 20 amp outlets. They have some this week. The prices are going up.
