Has anyone seen any signs limiting the amount of OSB you can purchase - NO! That means there is no shortage, just capitalism at work, AKA price gouging. Timber delivered to the mills is bringing the same price as it was ten years ago. The only thing competing with the chips for the making of OSB is pellet mills feeding power plants in Europe. Europe consider pellets to be carbon neutral. Go into eastern NC and look at the vast areas that have been stripped by clear cutting. Many of them hardwood forests, replaced by pine trees. Very little wildlife exists in a pine forest. So much for "green energy."Every year I go to Brooks Contracting, in Goldston, and get a utility trailer load of compost to spread around my foundation plants and for my raised bed garden. This year I was charged $40. Last year I paid $32 for the same trailer load. When I complained about the price, I was told it was because gas price increase and county tax increase.
We did suffer an increase gas price because of the cold snap in Texas and Chatham County did increase a tax by 1/2 of 1 percent. Neither would justify a 25% increase.
Last year, bought such a pack $63This just popped up for me in web-ads. I had to do a double take at the price.
