12’ 6x6 treated lumber #16 pieces FS

Have a stack of material leftover I’m not anticipating using. These boards are currently $72/each at Home Depot. Will sell for $50/board so $800 total for the lot.

Wish I had known this earlier.

$72 for a damn 6x6. 😳😳

Yessir, the world has gone bonkers

For those fortunate ones that haven’t needed to buy lumber in the past year, here’s the price chart.

But don’t worry...those low interest rates will offset the increased building costs 😉.

Yeah Matt. Guess they could have come in handy with your pole barn

I'll trade you a 2021 F350 Dually King Ranch for them.

OSB is 40 bucks a sheet .

It jumped from $46-58 one day last week. Not sure what it is right now but it’s too dang much.

i'm thinking about selling my deck and retiring

About a year and half ago before Covid crap I had a new deck built and just told the contractor to haul off the scrap from the build. I'm kicking my own butt about that decision now.

I hope you plan on kicking in some cash to boot.

It's mad. I've got a couple of patients that are builders and they cannot keep up with the demand. Buckhunter is correct. Folks are going with the low interest loans and cutting back on some frills on new builds. Builders are busier than they've been in years. Only problem is getting materials. Folks are saying to hell with the costs of lumber and materials and going crazy on new construction.

I am surprised wood alternatives haven't flooded the market quicker. It was 30% cheaper for me to use plastic shoe molding vs simple wood primed.

Another pm sent. I'll take them if they are still available.

As discussed in a prior post. I just finished removing all of my deck boards the hard way and replaced all of my decking. It sucked but, due to granddaughter’s 4H chicken requirements, I’m reusing a lot of those old deck boards for a bigger chicken coop. I’m going to reuse some of them as temporary fencing until the price of lumber comes down as well.
