3/4" T111 is a hundred bucks a sheet

[herr_oberst]

Helping a friend repair weather damage on an old outbuilding that's being repurposed as a studio-slash-storage unit.
T-111 used to be a budget product, for people that couldn't or wouldn't afford cedar shakes or clapboard. I don't do construction for a living, so, I had a little sticker shock at the lumberyard.
I'm glad a single sheet can cover all the repairs needed. (I'm also glad my friend isn't a total cheapskate, because bondo or Durhams Rock Hard would make for ****ty looking repairs, even if it is only an outbuilding)

Yeah, the 3/4 is pricey. Recently bought 19/32 for $43 last week. I'm in a lumber place or home center numerous times a week. Lumber $$ fluctuate daily.

$43 is a hell of a deal, and I would do that if it was an option here. HD wants $55 for 7/16. No amount of putting sleepers down is going to make that work and look good.

It's expensive living in the PNW.

Those prices are apparently the norm now. A Douglas fir 2x4-8 is $5.19 here in Ohio.

Hey guys, the house across the street is getting a new roof. They dropped off asphalt shingles the other day, they've sheeted the whole roof with plywood. Now they're putting down a white roll material where I thought they'd be using the old tar paper roll roofing material.
What's up with that?

Synthetic felt. We haven’t used the old tar paper in forever.

Hey Herr O. There is a discount building materials place in Sherwood that has killer prices. Their inventory is not particularly dependable so you might call before making the drive. I bought a bunch of plywood there last year and built a shed. It wasn't anywhere near $100. I saw you got your one and done sheet. Just a heads up for the next job.

What's it called? For my reference file.

[LWJ]

I just looked it up. I didn't recall the name. Building Material Resources is the name.

I think they buy end runs and weird lots. Prices were excellent but inventory was not 100%. I was not a fan of their screws, which broke on me.

can't even begin to imagine what a 9' sheet for a 2 story application would run.
