Price of Lumber gone up?
I started re-decking my car hauler last fall. Ran out of desire and good weather. But I called a couple places to get prices for 2' X 8" X 16' spruce, needed 11 of them. Was quoted $174 and $178 from lumber places. (+ taxes)
Last week I went and picked up the wood from the place that gave me the cheaper quote. The bill came to $219 +taxes.
I contemplated asking the high school senior at the cash register if prices had gone up but figured why bother. Never heard of anyone complaining about a increase so I'd figure I'd ask here?
What $219 + taxes worth of lumber looks like. While It's stripped down I'm adding more steel under supports. Instead of 24" OC it will be 12" OC That way I can haul a more compact weight like a bobcat.
