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..

dBoy shows just how big a rock he lives under. They’ve got him hook, line, and sinker. Not the least bit capable of independent thought, he needs to be spoon-fed his litany of already debunked lies and defamations.

I guess every fanatic needs their bogey-man to justify their dark and twisted souls. Comfort food for the stupid.

All the best,

@nonoise  If you replaced "dBoy" with "nonoise", I could have posted EXACTLY the same thing word for word.
I can say this without reservation, anyone that boasted "what ever it takes" and professed their participation in what took place in LOT of major cities, would never see the light of day until their last breath.

Looting and burning is a straight up life sentence. On mass looting, LIFE, no parole. Just like what’s going on all over the country.. They would walk in a loot a store ONE TIME...

The rest of their lives they would work by the sweat of they’re brows or not eat. No Work, No Eat...

They like starting fires, they can stoke boilers for the rest of their lives..

They like stealing and wrecking others peoples property.

The rest of their lives they would be cleaning with mop buckets and rags to pay for their behavior..

They would change AND tell everyone what a mistake they made.. I promise THEY would.. No matter the person’s age, race, GENDER. or religious profession. The worst of the bunch were females and not even American Citizens some of them. YUP.. "What Ever It Takes" Would be my moto..

The Border crisis, LOL It would last for 15 minutes at the most..

Helicopters and pepper spray. I’d clear the WHOLE border in 15 minutes.

Got one choice.. MOVE BACK... Form two (2) lines... First come first serve.. Perverts to the left and the rest to the Right. The left line has no openings EVER BUT will be identified and turned over to the family that was affected, no one else either.. just them.

NOW The people in the right line, What you got to offer? Don’t care WHO you were, but you better know what you’re gonna become.. A GOOD, Tax paying, hard working, want to be American.. Stay out of trouble..
Step over there you'll be given a whole slough of inoculation and quartered for 30 days while being processed Stamp, Stamp. Stamp WELCOME to the USA. NOW what is the name you want to be called?
Make the world proud..

NEXT..

You could of? Wow. Thanks for sparing us the drudgery of going thru all that. I'm beginning to think that dBoy imagines himself as on a virtual slave patrol of various media platforms and sites, like this one. 

Starting fights for no reason, being the first to bring up off topic subjects and then LOLing his way to smug satisfaction, only to end with his "looking down his nose" as anyone who'd dare respond negatively. It's his MO. He's done it before. Nothing like having your own audio alt right Tokyo Rose blathering away, treating this site like it's his farcebook page.

All the best,
