We're doing some neverending renos in the basement so when the pandemic hit I thought "I'll just work in the cellar for a while". That came to a screeching halt when they wanted $2 per board foot for crappy spruce sticks. I phoned the local Co-op one day and asked for a dry wall price (sheetrock for you guys). She said something - 19 bux maybe - to which I replied "Is that for a bundle" "No, that's per sheet"  So the project isn't progressing very fast.  Might as well pay airfare to Mexico as get raped at the lumber yard.  Mexico is more fun.
We have 80 pieces of rough sawn norwegian white spruce measures 3"×4" × 14'-4" pilfered from crate material among other stuff on past construction projects. We're trying to get it up to AK to build with!
