Made a little progress on the chicken tractor today.
Need to find some plywood to sheet it.
1/2" plywood is $40 a sheet here. How much y'all pay for it?

Currently, 15/32” ply (closest we can get to 1/2” anymore) is about $22 a sheet
I love the Imperial system.
Fiat mindsets bro.
Back during the Covid shit you couldn’t find any ply or OSB for less than $30 a sheet. Treated 5/4 decking was like $30 for a 12 footer. It was wild.
I was referring to 15/32, but I hear you.
Ply here was going for nearly $90 a sheet.
I was too. It’s sizeflation. All the plywood now is 1/32 less than it should be because they’re trying to maintain their margins with a money that constantly getting devalued. What was once 1/2 is now 15/32, 1/4 is now 7/32, etc etc. if they’re making 15/32 sheets then they can get 16 sheets for the same material that would only give them 15 sheets if they made 1/2”
OSB was around $60
It's about $25 around here OSB runs about $15. The price has finally recovered from the can't eat inside but you can eat inside if it's outside phase. Caused a bit of a spike demand.
That is a bit more reasonable. It seems like they took a page out of the fuel industry's playbook. Jack the price way up and then lower it to above what it was and people will still think it's cheap.
I'm not fooled.
