$13.25 for a 16’ 2x4 this morning. $30 for a sheet of OSB. Prices are getting out of control.

People who cross busy roads when the orange flashing hand is saying no. Just about got a girl on a bike yesterday when I was making a left hand turn. If I didn't the traffic flow that just went green would have. Lucky girl

People that dump their garbage on the trails....picked up several beer cans dropped by the side of the trail the other day....if they can carry them out and drink them, why can’t they crush them and carry them back out? Slobs!!

I got served at the KFC drive through the other evening by someone wearing gloves that had obviously been worn for a while.At least 3 of her fingers were protruding out of the gloves. Just about drove away without food. I was really hungry though.

Probably still better then 6 months ago when they didn’t wear any gloves.

So why do I regularly see new Canadians unload 8 people out of a Honda Civic or 80s minivan along the shoulder of qe2 on the busiest days of the year for a stretch and think this is a good idea.

Over $17 for a 16’ 2x4 now. Over $5000 for a lift. Was $1700 in January.

Supply and demand. It sucks. I was told too many fires last year. No logging. Wet spring... no access. Covid.. no processing.
Covid..... 3 times as much lumber being sold....

Just what I was told from one of the guys at Windsor plywood

How do you quote a job right now when your material cost is inflating weekly Curtis? I’m providing pricing with a 30 day window. But not only is pricing skyrocketed, stock is limited and dropping daily.

We are just a labour contractor. We help the owner be the general. The lumber yards can only guarantee a price for 24 hours on a bid but once your locked in that price is good for the project. We are pricing some projects with 18’ of poured in place concrete walls for the same price as wood construction. Crazy times.

I know it’s a conspiracy theory but his COVID thing didn’t sink the country it sky rocketed prices and sales are through the roof. Supply’s are down and it’s booming out their.
not sure what to expect next, maybe this is a good thing. I’m betting lumber prices should fall soon.

...and if you don't use the 2x4's within fifteen minutes they start to twist and dry up like hockey stick. Tree doesn't even know it's been cut down.

Did you know that 60% of women still wear a pad that leaks?

There aren't enough swearword emojis available to graphically depict how these commercials make me nauseous.
