Lot of pricing manipulation going on. Building has picked up with rates plummeting, and renovations and remodeling too, but not enough to drive this. Manufacturers seem to be controlling supply to recoup early 2020 losses.
The lull in production for the first half of 2020 has caused a lot of it. Low rates and a major market rebound with the rollout of the vaccine and looser Covid restrictions are another cause. I do think that with Biden in office and expected looser trading with China has the US suppliers acting like crawfish sales before Easter, they're getting it while they can as supply is down and demand is up.

Looks like I might need to put my shed project on hold for a little while.
Just put down the stakes last weekend.
