How about we don't bring 'him' or any others in that line of employment into the discussion.

I just checked Lowes
Why would 2"x4"×8ft be $5.88 and
2"×4"×8ft pressure treated be $4.88?
I'm still waiting I need to build a horse tack room but plywood is about same as OSB. Still too high ($45-$50/sheet) for me.
Doesn't make sense.

Lowe’s here in central Louisiana today is $3.98 for yellow pine 2x4x8 and $4.37 for treated.

There's a bigger difference at Lowes here:
2"x4"x8' Whitewood $5.98
2"x4"x8' Treated SYP $3.88

2 x 8 x 8 are down to $5.77


Still can't figure out why the 2x8 are less than the 2x6 unless it's the material/wood.

PT stuff hasn't changed for a while.

Guess I'll get a few boards next week.

2x4 in Canada $13.30! A few years ago, supply and demand meant if there was a demand, the price went down....not any more though! This radical pricing is the brain child of BIG business. No wonder COVID has become politicized!
