Plus everyone is stuck at home and realizing what a dump the place is. So they are spending their vacation bucks on renovations and upgrades.

All of our schools are overwhelmed from the amount of new students. A friend sold his house for 40k more than what he was asking. Another sold his place in 3 days. Every little piece of property is getting built on.

Vacation....gas....daycare money....lots of money can be directed differently. I saved just about 20k on daycare last year!

My son just signed up to apprentice in a home repair/construction training program. The trades are white hot right now and finding anyone to work on "small" projects is virtually impossible. He is paid full time with benefits during training, and if he is hired after he will get a 25% bump in pay and can try to specialize in plumbing or electric work as a journeyman.

A neighbor runs a home design and renovation company, She said that right now, a lot of contractors she works with are aging out and retiring quickly. That adds to the burn of a lack of skilled workers.

Interesting times.

Supply and demand, more new houses being built because of low interest rates, etc. Edit: Covid shut down some mills also.

It's all your fault! ;)

As the largest market, the U.S. is heavily dependent on Canada's lumber. The needs of the US outweigh the domestic supply. Canada has also been expanding rapidly into the Asian market, with China being the second-largest importer. The U.S. accounted for 69% of Canada's softwood lumber exports in 2015.

We should trade wood for vaccines.

They don’t have enough of us in the bay area to man up jobs. Union and mainly commercial. Mother fuckers need to pay us more. I mean jesus christ. The plumbers, electricians and tin- knockers now make about 20 bucks more an hour. Some serious bullshit.
