Im a carpenter and there seemed to be kind of a lull during the worst parts of covid. We still had steady work, but people were worried about the future of their job, having people inside their home, etc. . Now that things seem to be going back to normal, everyone wants these projects done all at the same time. There is also the fact that lumber mill slowed production during covid and they are trying to catch back up. At one point 40% of all the sawmills were closed. For a while it was damn hard to find a piece of pressure treated lumber.
But for the more conspiracy-minded people, it seems like the lumber companies are now artificially reducing supply in order to charge ridiculous prices

Yeah, that was pretty terrible for a bit. And again, it seemed everyone wanted a deck at the same time.

Or how much of the area that burns each year in "catastrophic wildfires" is actually overdue for a stand-replacing event.

Inflation will raise the price of everything for at least another year. Normal everyday goods will be affected first.
Also, Trump set in motion tons of construction.
Also, you will see other countries who aren't tanking their own economies on purpose will be able to afford the lumber, altering the availability. In NZ, they don't get to buy their own lumber even though they produce great material. NZ residents can only by the low grade stuff. The rest is shipped out of country.

Thank you, I came here to link your comment.
I've shared it around pretty widely and I looked for a local lumber purveyor who does a great job for the community.
Top notch, blue collar baller stuff, man. Cheers.

There is plenty of raw lumber. The processors don't pay well, and people are still getting better unemployment dollars, so why work?

Read an article recently stating that the loggers themselves have seen no increase in money coming in. Basically the middlemen are fucking everyone over for whatever reason. Last job I had we would buy at least 200 sheets of 3/4" CDX every 2 weeks. Can't imagine my old company is still in business. Also, when will the cost of new housing skyrocket due to price of lumber to build said housing?

Ok faggot, your ignorance is noted.
We ship our shit to China and they ship it back to us for “cheaper” that makes up the 276% increase in lumber costs, since America no longer produces anything
Noted that you didn’t debunk my 75% of shipping has dropped internationally.
I’m not being rude. I’m 100% correct, shipping has dropped tremendously and we are seeing the results, food prices are increasing 100%
