I’m a builder and it’s going to get worse. Riight now the shortages are mainly due to plants shutting down from Covid, but demand is going to surge from all the fires on the West Coast. 1000’s of homes were lost.

Intriguing to hear about the electrical supply stuff, Mr_Smith. It would appear that power is still out in my neighborhood and in the north side of Caddo Mills, TX too. This will make for the third night in a row with no power in my neighborhood. Well, my house being the only exception here. I figure my neighbors purchased and used a generator for their house today so they could do their own things earlier today.

If your wood shipments were coming from the West Coast then much of that wood probably has gone up in fire and smoke already.

Trump shouldn't start trade wars with canada 80% of your lumber products come from here. You have mismanaged your forests for so long, coupled with wildfires in the American lumber belt, good luck building shit without canada. Maybe you can buy from china after the buy from canada. Personally seeing as how your government is allowing riots and marxists to overrun your towns and cities, you reap what you sow!

This is total bullshit! The United States is the second largest lumber exporter in the world and our leading hardwood buyers are CANADA, Mexico and China with annual exports of 19.5 billion kg. Canada primarily exports WOOD PULP - which means most of Canada's lumber is only used for making PAPER GOODS and this is what we, China and Japan buy from them. Canada may be the world's largest wood exporter [annually it's 31 billion KG.] but it's mostly cheap softwood, much of which ends up as toilet paper.

COVID caused trees to stop growing and actually disappear!!

Same here in Canuckifuckistan.

Where we grow trees because we have nothing else to do with our land. No lumber and what is there is 3 times the price it was last year.

Someone (TPTB) have bought up all the lumber to create the shortage and are paying companies to keep the lumber mills silent.

There is a BIG BIG BIG doom event on the horizon. Nuclear war or massive civil war that they've planned soon.
