Mill that I work at cut back on amount of hours worked every day and
said no more Sunday's. Not sure if prices are dropping or they finally realized they were burning their workers out(3 have quit in last two weeks).

Workers are a resource. They probably realized their return on their workers falling and made corresponding decisions. Inflation is going to really cause some destabilizing that we haven't seen since the 70s

Two local lumber yards had 7/16" OSB for $74.00 a sheet and construction grade 2"x6'-12' was $26.00 and the building is nuts around here. I just don't get it....

Loggers sure are busy around me. Looks like everybody with timber wants it cut.

People will be crying if they build now and try to sell down the road, very poor investment to be building right now.

Unfortunately the stand lumber prices have not gone up along with the inflated in store lumber prices.

I agree but maybe we're not looking at things the same way other's have been. I mean the average house in my area has been about $150K-$200K. Now it's not uncommon to see $500K on up with several well over a million. Some one's going to get burned, just not me!

Some people have the money to pay for lumber. So the higher price may not have a big effect like you think. People don't seem to be traveling overseas for kicks like they used to, therefore they have money to burn on lumber. Just my 2 cents. I guess the big thing is that the lumber is good quality, not twisted garbage from Lowe's.

Softwood framing lumber is not dropping in my area, even the local Amish Mills are now raising their prices.

Lumber futures are up a bit today but the curve going out to January 2022 is dropping.
July futures are currently $1190 but January futures are 848. Still quite high

Don't confuse retail purchasers with speculators in the futures market.
