2010 Lumber Costs Soaring in First Quarter

I just received this data regarding current market data for lumber and OSB for the first quarter of 2010. The graphs pretty much speak for themselves.

2010 lumber prices

 As you can see, the days of the lower cost building materials appear to be largely behind us, with the trend continuing to rise well above the 5 year averages.

It's time to revise your numbers.
