The lumber warehouse at Lowes in N. Nevada is completely full of lumber. They are also now stacking all the excess in the parking lot because the is no more available room in the warehouse.

Next time I go there, I hope there are still places to park! :LOL:

Dang, Looks like you could pull up with a big flat bed trailer and truck-mounted forklift at around 3am, and make off with a fortune. :p

I've often had a thought similar to this. Our overnight runs park in mostly accessible locations, with nothing but 4" straps stopping anybody from swiping lumber.

There actually was an entire truck load stolen once. The owner/operator left the keys in his truck and the whole truck was stolen. The truck was recovered but had been unloaded. I think eventually the load of lumber was found also.

In Alabama Lowes, 2x8x12 is $20.62
I have been watching 4x4x8 pressure treated for fence posts. I also need 2x6x16 pressure treated for railing. I purchased a full pallet load of 4x4x8 for $3.95 each a lot of years ago. I have used them all. The price here before this started was about $7.85. It went as high as $20 and stayed at about $18 most of the year. It is $11.57 today. And thousands on hand at Lowes. I wish the price would drop back down to below $9, but I don't think it will. After the mills have made this much money, they want to keep it high.

Interesting. Ground-contact SPF 4x4x8 are only $9.57 up here today in southern Michigan. Seems dumb they would be cheaper here, since the wood is probably from your area originally!

I think they are pricing it as high as they think the local market can handle.

I just bought a 4x8 sheet of 1/2” A/B marine grade plywood for a boat project I needed to finish. $104.89
