Update to things as they stand according to a 15 year friend/ district manager of Lowes. My son actually worked for this guy years ago when we had a downturn in the construction industry after Obamalamadingdong destroyed our economy. They wanted my son to move up in the company. Hes a good hard working young man unlike most of these bird brains today. I was able to keep our business going by working alone but ended up having to work 7 days a week 12 to 14 hours a day for over a year. So the son finally came back and we have worked happily ever after, lol.
First - OSB prices are high because they bought high when availability was low and until that inventory is sold prices will remain high. He said there is currently not a lumber shortage and I was correct in assuming there was far more lumber available and plenty enough stock to go around. Same case for other lumber prices.
Additionally he told us the following (my son and I ).
- PVC VERY difficult to get so expect shortages in those areas.
- Windows are about 16 weeks out on average
- Siding is running about 6 months out
- Foam supply drying up so many products could be affected
- Sheetrock mud getting hard to acquire
That is all folks
Carry On
