I paid $35 for 2X6X16 today per board and $28 per 2X4X16. 6 mil visqueen has gone from $150 for 2000 sq ft to $300. #4 Rebar has doubled too. 2 inch foam R13 sheets are 50 bucks. My concrete suppliers have all raised their prices per yard by 20% AND add $100 fuel surcharge per load. Its costing me $500 to $1000 a day just in fuel surcharges. We had an above average March in footage poured but my concrete bill was $147k by far a new record. I got to pay this monthly while builders take up to 90 days to pay me.

Homeowner work has dried up at $6 per foot. Im pushing all my builders for $4 per foot. Thats a 33% increase but still less than my costs have risen.

Wages are 30% higher at least plus you have to pay bonuses and you still cant find help. I run 4 diesel trucks a day and 2 gas. My fuel costs are through the roof.

I may retire. Im too old to be doing everything myself again.
