Printing money Was done during the Weimar Republic and that did not turn out well for Germany or the world, but they Shure meant it to help... Good intentions and happy feelings do not equate to truth, prosperity or a betterment of the human condition. So many are are sold on a idea that it was a good idea, but the wrong people were in charge.. Tell that to Venezuela. Chavez was the last President "democratically" elected.. Now look .. The world has a lush of history of how the current mentality has led to misery every where it has been tried.

History is not being taught and that is on purpose. A country of apathetic under educated citizens are easily led with little resistance. The meaning of words is being redefined to poll tested slogans. The political class is never held responsible for actions and inaccuracies (to be kind).. It is a very tuff to have a rational debate with shifting meanings of words. I thought when the birds go south and come back next year that was Migration.. Now I have no idea what it means when they come and never go back. Just another poll tested phrase for the script readers to pass on to the now un educated.


Tempted to buy a roll for the shelf in the garage tough, because when you print money and rescores are finite, the rescores increase value inversely to the money printed.
FWIW, I've been in the building/architecture industry for decades and seen these prices go up and down with the market demand. The prices are high right now, but it's because the commercial demand for product and choke points in the supply chain (2018 tariff-related material shortages which have depleted domestic warehouse stock, Covid-related reductions in production capacity and shipping delays).

As for history - I can assure you they are still teaching it. Most people have simply forgotten (or never bothered to learn) what they were taught. And why would they - you get paid 100x as much for being pretty and popular as you do for being smart.
Why would you buy so many short rolls? You will wind up with much more waste at the end Cost you more per foot of actual used wire.

Wood is related to import issues from Canada, not inflation. Well, not mainly from inflation. Lol

Yup. Covid, tariffs, new construction demand all were causing skyrocketing prices back in 2020. They continue to rise, which is what has been projected for a while. Some people obviously reading a lot more into this than most credible experts I have seen.

Quote from ToolDeals :
180,000 sq ft residential, as in an apartment complex?

Sounds like the construction management missed a few pieces of the puzzle. Oh well, about a $45,000 issue on a $30 Million or so project is not the end of the world. Not sure why you would be using the OP Romex in that facility, but you can find plenty in 250ft rolls.... but may have to lock those down from walking off.
=======
We have 1500 sheets of new 3/4" Marine plywood I found a couple years ago for $1/sheet and in storage for a project. There was cost in moving it, but, for the price today, I am thinking about selling them and postponing the project for when this administration drops their pants for China and go with steel that will drop considerably from a new world glut.

As well, I just sold 112 -250ft rolls of 12-2 w/g UF (direct burial) that had been sitting in the warehouse for a decade or three. The price tag still on some of the boxes came from Farm and Fleet for $17.88/roll.

Oh yea, currency debasement is picking up speed.... any cash is steadily losing purchasing power.
Its 5 free standing 5 story multi family apartment units. In the common areas and shared spaces we use the nec 334 cable, which we purchased 3 years ago, and have more than enough. In the individual units we use the 12/2 and in bedrooms we use the 14/3. It's in Missouri so codes are odd. Last minute the developers made changes and we didn't add the extra cost from the wire price increase. (Budget was x, price shot up so we got less cable for the price) Not a huge deal for the job, but yeah, a slip up cost around 50k.

The prices keep going up. The developers keep getting frustrated when they want more and the price keeps going up. If I consulted this job at today's prices, they'd be 25% higher and take 25% longer.

Hard to find workers, suppliers, and customers who understand.

The designation 12/2 indicates AWG 12 wire with two conductors (AC hot and AC neutral), 12/3 indicates AWG 12 wire with three conductors (two AC hot and AC neutral). Both designations also typically include a smaller bare copper earth ground conductor. ... AWG 12/3 is used for double breaker 240V 20A max circuits.

Quote from twoweeled :
Interesting reading here. I've always regretted not understanding economics. Just didn't have have head for it, unfortunately. But make no mistake. Inflation is here, regardless what Powell says. I think Powell is staying low key until he's securely staying in his position. Inflation is already showing itself. I don't know if lumber is the cause or effect of inflation. I sorta see it as both! No, I don't know economics, so that's an uneducated shot. But inflation is here, make no mistake. Stimulus checks and bonus unemployment checks made little sense to me. But it doesn't come out or our political leader's pockets. It comes out of our pockets! Politicians have little interest in the effects of financial mishandling. They'll be long gone when the crap hits the fan. A politician's only focus, is to keep that job! Say anything, do anything, just keep their gig! Politicians are the scum of our earth.
Lumber is actually not the problem with the wood shortage. It's a manufactured resin that's used in the production of dimensional lumber that's causing the issues.

At least I have been told.

Unbelievable. Yesterday I popped into HD to check the lumber discount rack (I do this every time I'm in there) on the off chance I could find some OSB or siding for my outbuilding I'm in the middle of building (and cursing the timing for).
Piece of used OSB 52" long and 4' wide was marked for cull, which is 70% off. But it was USED. It looked like it had been in the masonry department, holding concrete because it had concrete splattered on the front, was cut into, and was dirty. I thought for sure they'd give it to me for free.
NERP.
The usual 70% off of the INSANE price of $57 for a full sheet of 1/2" OSB.
I paid $17 for this piece of shit.
I know, I know, I could've left it there, but I am just swallowing knives thinking about buying a piece of OSB for $57. It keeps me up at night.

They now have digital price tags on wood so they can change it every day at Lowe's. This is insane
