Title: Home building materials cost (split from Re: Non-member Classified Listings for 2021)

I don’t care if we do live in kooky times. That price is absurd!

If you think the RV prices are bad, take a look at what’s been happening recently in the building industry.  Not a good time to build or remodel:

'The numbers are just absolutely crazy': Pandemic sends building costs... (https://www.berkshireeagle.com/business/the-numbers-are-just-absolutely-crazy-pandemic-sends-building-costs-soaring-and-keeps-contractors-guessing/article_0ef27be2-85c9-11eb-9f2a-4fac419d29c7.html)

Lumber prices are rising almost daily and many builders are putting escalator clauses in their contracts these days.  For example, a 4x8 sheet of OSB plywood that sold in the $8 range at Home Depot last year is close to $60 now!  Know any RV manufacturers that use wood in their products?  🤔
