Sheetrock is getting hard to come by , plywood prices are ridiculous. Metal and plastic game boxes are in short supply!! Pretty much anything in the plastics industry is running low. Perfect storm, all the stimulus money has kicked off small projects all over the country and the construction industry is in overdrive right now............... Trying to figure this deal out is impossible cause things just make zero sense.
Oh yes , lets not forget the dirtbags that make enough money to make ends meet on the gooberment tit not showing up for interviews , cannot find workers right now!!

I’m in Arkansas trout fishing.
I can assure you the lumber mills around here are stacked to the ceiling with lumber construction materials in their yards. I’ll take pics if we go back that way.
Reminds me of the Carter era when we had the gas shortage and the government took the same approach that they are with covid currently.
Tankers were lined up off shore full of oil but were not allowed to discharge their crude.
The gasoline storage tanks in the Ponca refinery were mostly full yet the government made us drive 55 on the interstates and get gas on odd and even days.
Refinery’s like Gulf were storing excess fuel in closed gas station storage tanks in the middle of the night in Kansas City. TV news crew filmed it and all of a sudden that and other events the government got caught lying about got the tap turned back on.

There’s two new housing developments being built In Guymon and it got me thinking...

1. Those are gonna be some high priced houses anyways because Guymons real estate market is wack.

2. those houses are gonna have so many corners cut to save money on materials that they won’t even be worth buying.

Here's one for you.

My wife's car. Called in October to get it in for some service issues. Had to reserve a time to take it in January. Dropped it off January 6 (so I have a solid alibi!!). Took them until Feb 27 to do the service because of COVID they were down techs and mechanics. Picked up the car and not everything had been done and some things that were on the invoice hadn't been done. Took car back and raised hell. Car has been there since March 6. Still no estimate on release date!!!
COVID is blamed for lack of techs and shipping hassles blamed for inability to get parts (from England).
