I will settle for reasonable building material costs. Renting is getting so old, but fucking prices just keep going up. I'm not a live-to-work-to-pay-a-mortgage type.

We are so close to pulling the trigger on some rural acreage right now, but $50 plywood sheets can suck a mean dick.
Good luck with lumber.
One 36x18"particle board shelf cost me $6 this weekend.
I just needed a narrow piece of wood to build an experiment in the garage, and that was the cheapest "wood" I could find.
Not even wood.

I'm sure prices will relent now tho ... since we jut created $1.9 trillion more dollars out of nothing.

Targeting the Upper Middle Class
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/artic ... inequality

Elites through media are saying, dont look at the Billionaires, it's the greedy people that make $120k a year that cause inequality.

It seems to me that upper middle class is the goal of most American families. A place where they can have a decent home, retirement and pass on a little wealth to the kids. But these assholes want to snuff that out.
WTF?! That is me and my wife. I make $104k a year, she makes $74k, so a $178k household. We are maxing out our 401k plans, have a nice three bedroom, two bath house on 2.5 acres, three cars (1 paid for), a boat (paid for), side x side (paid for), and we’re the problem?! My wife came from a poor family, I came from a middle, of the middle class.....So her and I worked hard and now we are the problem because others made bad choices, have no skills, or just plain suck and that’s our fault?! Fuck that noise! Oh and we’re white, Christians, and are conservative so we’re automatically racist.....even though we adopted a half black girl. These leftist fuckers can go to hell and I’m more that happy to give them an express ride there!

Also this in an opinion piece written by an obvious commie. Fuck that douche!

Yeah I see one coming. I need to get off my ass and sell my rental home. Homes around here are selling as fast as they go up but nobody is willing to sell.

I wonder if this year's will be particularly collectible or valuable due to the change.
Tempted to order one, but the silver premiums right now are insane.

FYI, as interest rates rise, home values will decline. 1500 a month mortgage dont care of its paying interest or principle, 1500 is all they got.

We are so close to pulling the trigger on some rural acreage right now, but $50 plywood sheets can suck a mean dick.
Good luck with lumber.

My SUV died 5 years ago or so, I decided to just go for a cheap sedan to replace it for now, but I rented a car a few weekends to go car shopping (since they're closed Sunday so I got it for 2 days at reduced price) - one time they didn't have a compact so they gave me a minivan at the same price, with the seats removed even - it fit full sheets of plywood just fine, so I bought several sheets of 3/8 1/2, and 3/4 ply (plus 2x4s & 4x4s) to stash in my shed, figuring I wouldn't have a truck in the future...

While I haven't used the plywood yet, the other lumber has come in handy so far.

I also grabbed an 8' piece of 1/2" & 3/4" copper pipe, plus 10pks of T & elbow joints for each size, for future plumbing repairs. Given how the price of copper pipe has gone up that was a good idea.

If you think you're complaining today about the price, imagine how much you'll be complaining 5 years from now. :think:

I should be King of this shit hole state five years from now ... so maybe it won't be so bad.
Been socking away guns and heroin so I can insta-raise a homeless army like a flash mob. Once Seattle gets just a couple more thousand I should be able to raise a vacant-eyed, fearless, shambling armed rabble that would make the Chinese army blush.

Not sure what happens when I run out of heroin tho.
