Pet Peeves

Morning everyone ❤️

Did I miss anything in the last 24 hours?

[Trev]

The price of timber has fairly inflated and that peeves me.

Someone told me recently it's materials in general, and quotes for materials are out of date in 3 weeks.

Insanity if true.

Yeah, trying to get an extension for the house sorted, bank are dragging their heels to sign off on a mortgage and every few weeks the builders costs are going up, which then has to go back to the bank for approval. Absolute fucking pain

[Blackout]

Are you going through a broker?

You'd nearly think that it was carefully planned Trev, wouldn't you?

Its mental put there pricewise...if you can even get the stuff in the first place as the suppliers are making sure that the contractors get whats available first...I went to my local suppliers looking for kingspan sheets, has a look out the back yard and loads there, went to the counter and they said they had none available, I said there are loads out back and they just said theres non available for selling..I knew exactly what the story was and pushed them until they finally came clean....none available for the likes of me....power tools are another thing that has shot through the roof pricewise....for decent tools at least...

A result of crippled supply chains worldwide post covid, and trade wars between US and China, as well as a rise in use worldwide.  The US was one of the world's largest lumber suppliers for years, and a huge portion of their production was exported to China for manufacture to furniture, mostly returning to the US after.  Tariff increases about three years back on wood products from China entering the US stifled the trade, since China was producing less they didn't need the US wood and also fucked a tariff on that on their end too as a counter measure, so that spiral was happening pre-covid.  2020 saw work shortages everywhere in the industry and the knock on from those delays coupled with the earlier trade dispute, and general supply chain issues otherwise, has led to it rising rapidly in price.  We are currently in the point where it is finding its new level so quotes won't be held while demand is so severe, I imagine it will continue for at least another year at this rate until either production is ramped up or some trade gets figured out on it.  This would be relevant here too, due to how & where we get our wood - as the US price increases and supply is stifled, buyers will scour global markets for better deals and buy EU lumber instead, increasing pressure on that and on a production system that takes time to scale up to meet new demand will force the price up further for us.

Would this have anything to do with Brexit? My mate was talking to me about the hike in steel prices in the north, as its up something crazy. He seemed to think Brexit was the sole cause but it may be a cause of correlation rather than causation.

[Kurt Cocaine]

It seems to be a worldwide issue.

[Blackout]

Dickhead workmen drilling at 8am.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Had that here too. Young fella prevented me being angry at them though, by having already woken me up at 6am

I'm more than happy to blame the British government for this
