griller Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hilarious!!! 400% increase in lumber prices from a year ago will do that, LOL. Builder (and their clients) are getting murdered here in TN, and I can only imagine how bad it must be in Maui. You could go broke without an escalation clause in the contract...

Islandboy Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Surprisingly, the pandemic has had a very strange effect here on Maui - starting a year ago, anyone with money suddenly wants to relocate from their CONUS city dwelling to here. As a result, the housing market is through the roof, inventory at an all time low, and high-end residential projects are booming. As a project manager working for a GC, my head is spinning on a daily basis. An evening cigar really comes in handy in times like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WLC Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I bought a sheet of 7/16 OSB about a month ago and paid $44. Was in home depot today and the same sheet was $68. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
