Shortage due to covid

LUCKY 7 · May 14, 2021

Been hearing alot about shortage's due to covid. Plumber's are having a horrible time getting 2" pvc pipe, electrican's having issue's with getting electrical house wire. I have to replace my hot water tank and almost every plumber I called said they will have to call their suppliers to see if they have any tanks left. It's a 40 gallon hotwater tank!! What other shortages have people heard of?

Yup, our plumber said the same thing. Starting to see in stores no stock of certain things.I've heard rumours that food is going to start getting short also, I don't care if I starve to death, as long as I don't catch covid. What a joke.

Almost anything firearm related is getting hard to find. Save your ammo...

I will add there's no shortage of companies/industries etc using covid as an excuse for any possible item that is either going up in price or is in limited supply.
Funny how there seems to be supply for people willing to pay 300x or more normal cost for an item but shortages otherwise

My deck guy said floor joists are done. Will build out of 2x10's but they are getting short of supply he said. Houses will come to a halt

Fox News said lumber has gone up 93% and steel in the 70% range in the US

He said the I joists are out of supply? And can't get them at all?

Seeing same thing here. Suppliers only getting limited amounts of I joists and once they're gone they're gone.
Apparently a shortage of the epoxy/glue used to bond the osb, same reason sheathing is ridiculous now

Its unreal, 70 dollars for 7/16 osb, 100 for 3/4 standard plywood. Treated lumber is out of hand!

Paid $166 out the door, with taxes, for one sheet of 3/4” standard T&G plywood earlier this week.
