Have lumber prices gone up significantly at HD stores country-wide? I
just went into our local one last week and OSB seems to have doubled in

Maybe they're going up all across the industry? I know I'd read reports
of supply and demand problems pushing up prices in Europe as of a few
months ago.

I have not looked lately but osb does fluctuate a lot based on
demand. Other lumber usually less so. Bummer if you need a bunch
right now.
I was talking to a kitchen appliance
person at Lowe's that I have come to
know. He said that prices at Lowe's
change with the product market. He said
that most items stay pretty stable,
however, stuff like lumber can change 2
or 3 times a day.
