BowEd:
I just bought a 1" by 12" eight feet long for shelving for Robins' canning jars.It cost $29.50.Outrageous!!!!!
Looks like I'll be getting lumber from my Amish friends' saw mill in the future.

Digital Caveman:
I think that would have been at least $20 at Lowes here when I last checked a few months back.  It is pine I take it.  What price is it normally for you?   

BowEd:
2 tears ago it was $13.00.4' by 8' 3/4" treated plywood is $120.00 a sheet.Used to be $30.00.

Morgan:
7/16 osb sheathing of all things is right at $50 a sheet here. Was the cheapest sheet material you could get for sheathing. I needed 6 sheets of it and wound up getting 3/4” because it was $10 a sheet cheaper as if that makes any sense at all. Just built a small 10’x12’ goat barn as cheaply as I possibly could and have $1700 in it. Last spring the same barn would have cost me right at $700 to build going off of lumber receipts I have from then. An 8’ 2x4 stud is $8 for crying out loud. It’s nuts.

BowEd:
I hear ya Morgan.I'm glad I got the extra construction already done on my place,but I've always had thoughts of making a heated bow making shop.I could tan hides in there too.
It's not only lumber that's sky rocketing in price.
