That’s what I thought in the store. As soon as I got home I changed my mind and now expect it to go up. This sucks bro...
For sure. Im trying to get this construction project completed before everything comes apart at the seams.
Some lumber poaler claimed the price increase is due to lumber mills using the rona as an excuse to operate under capacity to drive up demand. I have no idea if this is true or when it will end but, I'd maybe try to wait. If you need to finish a project, that sucks and I feel for ya. If you have the time, good trees and don't need pressure treated/engineered lumber... it might be worth it at this point to buy one of those gas powered mills and do it yourself.
The fires started everywhere last year destroyed enough lumber in Oregon to build over a million homes. That's the latest I read, in addition to other issues. It's not getting better any time soon.
Could be all the plywood used to board up windows for peaceful protests :)
