I'm.in the middle of the residential custom homes and renovations market in the architecture field. People doing 10k renos don't need lumber that's all finishes. Lumber packages for custom houses have went up over 100%
at only a 100% increase your doing well as the price of lumber at the retailer has tripled in the past year. In March of last year OSB 3/8 was selling for 13.79 a sheet, now its over $51.00, a 2x4 stud was $2.75, now $8.94 as of last weekend. I know this because I built a shed last spring, looked up what I paid for lumber, and compared last weekend at the local Home Depot. Oh, by the way building a shed or a fence also counts in the renovation market, and you dont have to spend 50g to do that.
