Menards treated 2X4s 8 foot long $3.95 and treated 1X4s 8 foot long $3.49 not bad for treated lumber and I picked out some nice stuff. 4X8 shed siding $30 a sheet I’m thinking of building a shed soon with those prices.
Regular 2X6 8 footers were under $9 a few weeks ago.

They have to sell what they paid to much for before they put out the cheaper stuff But what about all the cheap supply they had on hand before and tripled their money on overnight when prices jumped?

Just say shortage and watch the prices climb learned that in the 70s gas, coffee they just took turns with shortages back then.

Now there's talk of a beer shortage coming due to the drought/ poor barley crop. Labor shortages in the manufacturing process causing some cut backs on a few brands. My neighbor is already hording his brand!
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Just ordered a new sawmill yesterday, figure it'll pay for itself after the first couple projects and no more trips to town for lumber or worrying about Lumber cost. Right. - Cut a board for nearly nothing.
- Stack it and dry it for a year or so for free
- Plane it to finished size
- complete your project cheaply without even having to go to the store
Sorry about the sarcasm. I, too have a sawmill, and it is great for utilitarian projects. My latest project is quail cage, where the inhabitants are ecstatic. My wife might not be so happy with green rough cut lumber furniture, though.

My wife might not be so happy with green rough cut lumber furniture, though. I run a tree service so I get many logs and have the equipment to Handel them. The kit for the barn I want to build is 70,000, sawmill is 16k but will be putting about 10 more into it for full hydraulics shortly. Norwood hd38 btw.

My wood all comes from tree services. I give them free reign to dump wood, park their vehicles, etc.
In return I get wood. Some just cut and split for my outdoor boiler fuel. Some for lumber. The too short firewood, culls and slabs from the sawmill become charcoal. I am finally far enough ahead that I have started selling firewood.
My tree services are starting to notice. Maybe the end of a good deal, or possibly a partnership in the making.
