Had this local lumber yard trying to charge me $100 A BOARD FOR 8 FT PIECES!!!

It’s wavy cedar siding. It’s actually pretty common here up northern US.

I can’t imagine that price is right. I could see $50 or $60. Or is lumber really that insane?

I just need like 4 of them for a repair…

    I’ve been getting lumber sticker shock ever since Covid. It hasn’t gotten any better.

    Quick sanity check would be to check pricing online for as close to the same lumber you can find on the Home Depot site or similar and see if your local yard is within the ballpark.

      Turns out thats the price anywhere. Insanity.

      It lasts a long time at least. Residing my house is going to cost 6 figures in the future I guess ha
