How about 18 years ago when there was a shortage of gypsum and therefore sheetrock? price jumped from 4 bucks a sheet to over 10 bucks almost overnight

I pay $49-49 for 3/4" cabinet grade birch ply wholesale, and Home depot has it on the shelf for 40 bucks. I pay the extra because it comes to my door and I don't have to make a trip and pick thru a pile. Birch ply and every other plywood has increased just like everything else. Cherry is about 100 a sheet for A-1 plain sliced
And people wonder why cabinets cost so much

I bet 3/4" fir cdx is close to 40 bucks over there since it has to come by ferry.
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I am going to rip the seats out of my Yukon XL and fill it to the gills with material after the holidays. The difference one sheet makes will pay for my ferry trip!

Welcome to the builders' world. Everytime I do a bid or present a bill it's STICKER SHOCK for the client. Plywood has actually come down from the peak when our government shipped thirteen trainloads of 3/4 CDX to Iraq....... It pushed the price close to fifty bucks for the 3/4 CDX!!
