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).

Had to pick up two 3/4 inch plywood sheets for work today. 211 bucks and change

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.

Unfortunately the stand lumber prices have not gone up along with the inflated in store lumber prices. This^^^ Folks think that timber prices have increased but they have not.

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