I don't buy this Sawmill BS/Supply side shortage. This industry is controlled by a handful of big players that used lobbying/tariffs to raise prices because they could, the pandemic is just an excuse. Timber is still being cut and arriving at sawmills, still being processed and shipped. Housing starts in the US and Canada are down, RENO's in Canada are up (because you can't afford to sell and buy). You can also attribute some of the rising cost to Inflation, it's coming at us in a big way. Look to see where the money is going and you'll find the folks who orchestrated this.
