CV-19 and the Parts Supply

[luvrbus]

LOL someone is lining their pockets when you pay 60 bucks a sheet for 7/16th OSB board  before the CV-19 BS last year I was paying less than 10 bucks a sheet, I could get it for around 9 bucks buying a bundle,they proved their point with paper products shelfs are full at same price it was during the shortage BS people just accepted it

All you gents with sawmills got me thinkin'. But then I remember what Clint Eastwood says. A man has to know his limitations. We have lots of trees, but I'd have about 7 fingers left when I had the boards I need. Leaning toward the Chessie thing. Tell Rita to sell another lake house, and call Morton.
People have lost their mind on our lake north of Atlanta. Houses that were 750 a year ago are going for a mil in hours. Rita has shown two houses using the face time thing because people can't get here in time, and they sold while she was showing them! How do you get there faster? She listed an 850 house for 1.1 and it sold in 6 hours from people still in Alaska! People have lost their minds.
I know you can get a loan for about 2.5 percent, but what is the panic?? She was on HGTV Lakefront Bargain hunt a few years ago, and gets calls late at night now because of that. She wants to get in the bus and go hide. Thinking.....Nebraska. Yeah. That would be quiet....   Any boondockerswelcome there?? Shouldn't bitch about making money, but this is insanity.

Home sales here is over the top as well . But tell me how a real-estate guy can try and justify a 5% commission rate on a house for over a million  that sells in 6 hrs ?

RIP OFF !

using the saw mill is pretty easy other than loading the logs on to it .
mine will cut up to 16'5" and a 16" log is slow to load even with a mini ex and a lot of finesse not to do any damage to the mill. it can get a little boring as you adjust the height cut and repeat. but after you do this for some time and you start to see a stack of lumber

It's all the free market hard at work - as long as people keep paying the super charged prices they likely won't be coming down. Not much need for companies to increase production capacity when they can make just as much selling fewer products for twice as much. Once the demand starts dropping so will the prices.

It is not the free market entirely ,inflation is kicking in we all knew it was coming you cannot just keep printing money like we have in the past 12 or 14 years creating a false economy,It really pisses you your Social Security Trust can only invest government bonds so they keep the interest rate low  to dip their hands in it  my morning rant
