You can't walk in off the street and buy a lot of building materials here right now. My main lumberyard called me a.few weeks ago and told me the supply was running out. Knowing how much business I do, they asked if I wanted them to set aside any pressure treated and concrete mix. I have eight lifts of PT 2x8 and 2x10 sitting in their yard with my name on them, as well as a bunch of lifts of concrete mix.

That might get us to October.

They closed sales to anyone but contractors to help

Its not just lumber. I bought a new water heater for my home in early spring. 40 gallon natural gas not quite 500. Bought a 40 gallon lp gas last week best I could do was not quite 700.

Actually, it's everything, true. My company is half construction and marina, and we sell Grady white, and other boats. Best sales year ever. We are almost out of boats. Same with waverunners and Yamaha outboards. Out. Bicycles? None left at the bike shop. Kayaks? Couldn't buy one.

This is spot on.

I go to a Lowe's in Allentown pretty regular to get the odds and ends that pop up on job because it's a lot closer than my regular lumber yards/hardware stores. Over the last three months it's been packed. It doesn't matter what day or what time of day, the parking lot it fuller than I've ever seen it.

Must be folks out of work spending them stimulus checks on honey-do lists.

Yup, you better be a regular and on first name bases here with suppliers if you want anything in PT.

I talk to my material estimator like fifteen times a day. The nice thing about my lumber yard is they move so much material they make orders a year in advance. Every piece of pt lumber currently sitting at the main Ontario supplier has my lumberyards name on it. And I STILL had to reserve lifts. The retail market is the issue. The retail market has increased more than tenfold.

Took me 2 months to get a replacement screen for an Anderson window. Window and Door orders they said are backed right up. Glad I am no longer in the construction trade but I do miss it at times.

We had 5 tons of steel for a roof that was supposed to leave Germany by way of the Netherlands in may.

The company lost the material due to covid, and now think that just maybe they can get it on a plane over August 20. Lol. Everything is behind.

Anderson has always been slow on parts. Maybe not that slow but they were never speedy.

I had a table saw grab a push stick and sling it across a bedroom I was remodeling in a converted barn. When right through a newly installed Anderson sash and screen. it took my supplier a month to get the replacements. this was in July 2018.

I couldn't have picked a worse time to build 4 new, and rather large, elevated deer blinds. What lumber I can find is pricey.

Plus it's too darn hot to be doing this.

It could have been a lot worse. The blunt end of the push stick tore the skin on my palm. A helper said he saw my arm fly up in the air but didn't know what happened.

The worst part was we went to lunch right after. By the time we got back the project manager for the large company that owned the property had been there and left. I had to call him and explain what happened.

That was my first and only power tool mishap (that resulted in injury) in forty-plus years.

There goes my safety record!

I nailed my thumb to the bottom plate when the nail encountered a knot an shot out the side of the wood. Not much damage but a lot of blood on the deck. Those are the only two I can recall
