The price of construction materials is shown in the video. The lead time is weeks to months for large project orders. The housing market will collapse and home ownership will become a dream for our children. All sectors are experiencing this massive wave of inflation: energy, food, firearms/ammunition and medical.
This was always the plan for the Great Reset. If you want freedom, you will have to fight to overthrow the traitors who stole this country.

I went to my local Lowe’s and the price quote for 2x12x16 (Top Choice) Spruce Pine Fir was 15.18 per board. If you are quoting a price for “Severe Weather 2x12x16 #2 Prime Pressure Treated Lumber at the price of 65.93 then you should have made it clear as to what kind of lumber you were purchasing. This is deceptive.
Greg,
There are many choices, and prices depending on your location. Spruce pine would be at the lower end of the scale. He would not use pressure treated for floor joist application.
A better grade 2x4x8 cost me a little over 8.00 per board. This is crazy and this is inflation. Or a supply and demand issue? Companies are laying off, they cannot get the materials, many are out of stock.
I was not being deceptive at all. I showed the board and tapped on it. It is green in color and I assumed you could tell that. It is pressure treated. It does not matter what I was buying I was showing you the price increase of EXACT items I bought in the past and the same item priced today. If the floor joist are a certain distance from the ground under your house it has to be PT by code in my area.
I use FANUC on some NC systems and I use Allen Bradley on other NC systems. I don’t assume that an operator would know the difference.
Seriously? Your takeaway from this video was that it was deceptive?
Seriously. My takeaway is that the video was deceptive. A clear explanation would have been much better.

Believe it or not, $2000 per thousand for 2 and better Doug Fir is almost exactly where I would have expected it to be right now. Expensive, yes. But the lumber market has had historical swings for as long as I’ve been alive.
In the 1980s the bottom dropped out of the market and the mill near my home was taking the most valuable lumber they produced, 5/4 Sugar Pine shop and moulding, and feeding units of it into the chipper. There was no market for lumber but there was for chips, and the mill was doing what they had to do to try to stay alive. It didn’t work. The mill closed the following year and never reopened.
