I was thinking of doing another fence project. It's been five years since I built a fence, and the wood prices have more than doubled.

Anyone know why wood went up so much?

Well, I did find this. Should have looked first. I think I'll wait for the prices to come down again.

It was Summer of 2008 when I did my last project, so I accidentally timed the price right then...

You're hoping for another recession so you can build a fence?

I get wood free every morning. Kinda sucks because I have to push down to ensure my piss goes in the bowl.

Just a guess, but I'd assume the rising real estate market has something to do with it.

Interesting here is an article about the falling prices of framing lumber…

Home Depot/Lowes have one of the greatest smells of any stores. The lumber section is intoxicating. Beats the gasoline smell, imo

Especially the cedar.
