I think that's a great balance Oldhvy...enjoying the present and dreaming of the future.
Why the cost increase?
I went to buy materials for a speaker project. I also priced some T-111 siding on 8" centers, 5/8 thick, Ship lap.
I hadn’t picked up any sheets or anything in over 18 months.
48" x 96 x 5/8 wood siding was 19-26.00 and on sale 15-20.00 per sheet, NOW 74-84.00 per sheet.
MDF 3/4" 48 x 96" if you can find it. 45-55.00 per sheet it was 22.00 to 27.00 per sheet.
2x4x8 DF stud grade 1.99-3.00 per. Now 4-6.00 per stud,
There is no shortage but there sure is a LOT of price gouging. NOTHING changed. Just the price..
The quality is worse. The workers aren’t paid worth a crap...Why the increase?
I’m getting ready to finish my home out. WOW.. I might have to rethink this a bit..
The price all most tripled in 12-18 months.. This kind of stuff is NOT cool at ALL.
Just my opinion of course. Any projects you’re doing get put on hold or STOPED?
YES I’m very frugal. Money never came easy, and it leaves the same way..

nonoise, I guess that I just think that this is the wrong place. Political talk just spawns a lot of mental noise, and if you enjoy it, which I know that many people do, I think that’s fine, but this just isn’t the place. I also wonder why you would say that I, if anyone should see the difference. No hard feelings, just my opinion. |

Why would they censor those who speak up and point out their fallacies? There are plenty of platforms out there besides an audio site where they can feel right at home. They should try GETTR (set up by Rump's press secretary) for those that support right wing platforms. There's also Twitter and Farcebook and all manner of sites where they can glad-hand each other." I'm not taking either side, but isn't this what you are always doing? You take every given opportunity to get ragingly political, and it's very unpleasant, not to mention off-subject. |
