Check your facebook market place. Here you often see lumber for sale on it for reasonable prices

You missed it by months. It took awhile for the Biden affect to set new records for lumber prices

Don't buy dimensional lumber at big box! Check your local lumberyard, way cheaper; here anyway. But no, it's not coming down anytime soon.
Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

Not just lumber metal roofing for my shed is about $800 now.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

3/4" 4x8 CDX plywood went from $15 to $95. I asked the manager why, he said short supply of the glue used in plywood products. I said, OK, so whats the deal with studs being $8 ? ? ? ? no glue in them. He said ... Um, that's different. Usa put a big duty on Canadian lumber imports
Thank the last TWO Presidents for that.
