No doubt that you are right about the lumber.
Even man made lumber (ply) is diminishing in quality.

And the price is getting up there for all, hardwoods, softwoods, and ply.

Price is high but is the true cost any different? I heard somewhere
that in 1920 you could buy a gallon of gas for 2 dimes, and if you
melted the silver out of those two dimes today, you could still buy a
gallon of gas with them. Wood is probably no different.

Governments reduce their debt by printing funny money. The value of
money can only be increased by increasing productivity, not with a
printing press.

Hel, you could but a gallon of gas for 20 cents in my lifetime, and I'm
under 60 (barely)
