Went to lowes this morning. 2x4x8 pressure treated is $9.

Yep same here. A buck + a foot. Ridiculous.

A buck a foot for pressure treated lumber and $100 a pound for Retumbo. Welcome to 2020

It was 70 dollars for 4x4x10 for deer stand legs luckily I had all the other lumber I needed. No telling what a deer stand would cost

Yes I am living the nightmare I just started building a house approximately a month ago my framing package went from $9000-$18,000 after considerable shopping around I got it down to 15,000 and paid for it immediately to lock it in even though I did not need it yet I've been told it's due to demand of course with all the weather and hurricanes we've had in Texas Florida Louisiana and many housesBeing destroyed Another word for it is price gouging

Cool name Dude ! Incognito ! Yes, lumber price's are skyrocketing, yet timber price's are still down. We are getting s*+^#** on both ends. This has been going on for a while now. Best wishes with the house build.

We are building a house in WY at this time. Contracted the price up front... fortunately. Builder told me last week that the trusses/frame on a previous almost identical build were $9K in June. Said ours was $27K. Feel bad for him, but glad we contracted a final price.

Not incognito just being consistent across several forums there is a thread sometime ago here that said people hide behind their names and posts and use anonymity so several people use their actual name like myself but just decided to go back to my handle that I use on two other forums

Log trucks rolling by my front door all day loaded with half price timber. My brother works at the export yard and they are loading boats non-stop. Crazy to think it might be cheaper to import lumber from a tree that was exported and cut just down the road. Someone's making bank somewhere.

Bill, I was kidding you, hope you are not offended. I figured you just felt it was time for a change.
Noticed your pic above for the house build , keep us informed. Be safe be well.

Oh I know you're joking absolutely not offended in anyway I will be posting pictures of the progress however slow it may be waiting for the plumber to come do the rough in now
