I'm guessing my figure is low for your area - I don't remember specifying '8 dollars in Podunk Shitsville, Flyover Country' or wherever you live - but I'm also strongly guessing that you're still exaggerating.

Anyway it does not matter. If a job gets 'killed' because it exists only due to extreme exploitation and the business cannot be (sufficiently) profitable at a more reasonable wage, then I say:

'Exploitation' you Canadian mounted.

See what I did there? I took a popular Canadian stereotype - the 'Mountie' - but twisted it into its obverse which made it a delightful double entendre that implied that either you are a homosexual bottom, or lack grappling skills.

I'll show myself out.

Jesus fuck! Getting 3/8" osb @ $96 per sheet here. Think prices will return to normal eventually?

Speaking with the father in law, he says prices have moved as drastically as they have here
Eventually they will lower but will still end up higher than they have been traditionally i fink

what is that exactly...is that wood pre stained or is just that dark
I think my neighbor has that wood...stains it each summer
It's a brazillian hardwood.
Like cutting concrete. Heavy as shit.
It's so dense it fucking sinks in water.

Yeah - That's what I think too.
We'll crash before too long - I'm thinking Q4 - but we'll never see 2019 numbers again.

If you look at the amount of housing supply shortage in the United States, Even with a huge increase in new housing units we will be behind for several more years. So even with a focused effort we're several years from seeing housing prices start to moderate and even then I don't think it'll be a bust.
Because of housing supply running up the cost of existing houses you can now justify increased remodel and new build cost as well and all of their associated products.
Looking at the lag on supply chain and significantly increase demand for the moderate future timeline I think you'll see a moderating of wood prices 18 or 24 months from now but probably no bust either.

We're in a new normal for like 5 years here unless some significant supply changes happen.

I have seen it, badass wood
Saw a guy pressure wash it with a turbo tip and it was hard as a motha

Just never seen it raw or before it was stained

Oregon is pushing out Tons of giant high quality trees that were burnt in the massive non arson fires here last year...Big Big trees...That will probably last for a few years...I-5 is a steady stream of lumber going south and north out of this area

Just throwing that into the wood discussion
