Lumber prices😳
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
We are in times when it is difficult to break our hoarder tendencies. I was so thankful I didn't toss the partial sheet of 3/4" OSB I tore out of the house last winter while redoing the bedroom flooring. I have a single axle open trailer that is used a few times a year. It needs a new floor. The one time it was used this summer . . . I slapped the 3/4 OSB over the worst part. Got home and slid the OSB back in the barn for future use.
Sure am glad I have some hoarder in me.

The "New Normal" in the wood market, prices could stay 30-50% higher than last year and so many would say well at least it isn't what it was in the spring of 2021.

kinda like getting kicked in the nuts, as the pain subsides it almost feels good yet your still dry heaving...
2x4 studs retail have come down $2 apiece in the last week

Our local Blowes and Home Dipshit still have them at almost $7 for a untreated 2x4x8. That's if they had them, 100% out of stock.
$7.45 here currently at Lowe’s, $6.48 at home depot I’m thinking Lowe’s hasn’t updated their pricing on their site this week….
Having issues with over extending the clutch. Trying different things to find the right height as a temporary fix. Hated wasting $50 in lumber on the race truck clutch pedal.

It’s not like Mississippi has a portion of the state called the “pine belt” completely logical that there is a shortage there

On the community FB page last week there was a discussion because Taco Bell, Burger King and Mcdonalds were all out of chicken. Ms is the 4 largest chicken producing state, only being beat by our neighbors in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina. How the F is a restaurant in Ms out of chicken.

Phil did you google and YouTube that fix?Having issues with over extending the clutch. Trying different things to find the right height as a temporary fix. Hated wasting $50 in lumber on the race truck clutch pedal.
The company switched its male roosters earlier this year, but ultimately there have been fewer eggs and lower hatch rates. It estimates the problem accounts for about 50% of the shortage issue, according to the New York Post. "We're changing out a [type of] male that, quite frankly, we made a bad decision on," Tyson's chief operating officer and group president of Poultry, Donnie King, said during an analyst call on Monday.
A spokesperson then followed up with CNN and noted that it chose the new type of rooster because of characteristics that could improve offspring chicken's meat quality. Those roosters are now being replaced by the old ones, which is a time-consuming process. CNN says the company has not shared what will happen to the roosters that didn't meet the demand.
Bottom line they tried too save a few pennies and it cost them big time….
No. Bit I should have videod it and uploaded it. I could be a YouTube star with brilliant ideas like this? I mean. . . .it is cutting edge stuff I'm doing. Literally. If it is too tall, I'll cut the edge down until it fits.
2x4 studs down to under $5 and 7/16” OSB at $21. We’re getting there…

Drove by a mill in MS a couple days ago. There was probably 20x this stacked. The yard was slap full. What I found interesting was the dates on some of the stacks. 3/18/21.
