Just imagine what the cost of building materials are going to escalate to. I can tell you. Straight to the moon. Material and labor will triple.
I can tell you that lumber prices are seeing an increase but it has nothing to do with the strike. With all the damage from the storm, demand in the southeast is going way up. That, plus 2 of the largest producing mills of 2x4's in the southeast were damaged and are not running or running on a limited basis so supply has been affected. Prices at the mills have been going up all week.
