My daughter and her husband are like the developer couple on “Home Town” on HGTV. They find local homes needing a lot of TLC then find someone to buy it to get it renovated. Lumber and supplies were tight for them for a while in the first half of last year (getting anything for a deck was almost impossible) but things are improving both in pricing and delivery so they’re currently working right out straight on four homes. Scheduling can be challenging at times, but apparently not all that bad, considering.

OTOH, I needed a couple of 10’ 2” X 12” planks for my new lift and bought them locally at the town’s lumber yard (Buy Local!) They had plenty of 8’, 12’ and 16’ but no 10’s. 🤬

I ended up getting two 12 footers for about $30 each after taxes. Thought that was a little high, but then, I haven’t bought anything that big in 30 years! They look really good on my shop floor, too.
