Covid? Let's just say the economy has not been normal for most of the last year... the stuff we've been through wouldn't have an impact?
I saw this same lumber mills Dennis and wondered how there was a shortage with lumber literally dripping from the seams of the properties. But I also noticed a lack of OTR drivers while driving across the US over the last two weeks. I never really had to fight the lines of trucks I'm used to seeing. Maybe transportation is an issue. I don't know either.
that was a post mill i think. doesn't dimensioned lumber come from out of country?? or at least milled off shore??? seems like i can remember factory ships making plywood or something like that.
the prices are inflation driven. it's been around for a while now but is beginning to work it way into all sectors. has anyone noticed shrinkflation yet?
For what it is worth, as we were driving to and in Alabama, we've seen a number of logging places where finished lumber is visible on their yards. That really surprises us because most of what we see in the way of logs going to the mills aren't the kind that I'd say was good for construction lumber. Compared to what we saw in the way of logs in Oregon, these here are puny at one end.
The dollar is worth less. That's what happens when fake money is printed by the trillions.
It isn't that the prices are going up. It is more a matter of your dollars being worth less.
. That is frightening.
