It wasn't too long ago I bought 1/2" CDX for ~$15 a sheet.Â* I have a
nice stock pile of 1/2".... some 5/8" CDX and 5/8" T1-11, also.

Went to get more 1/2" sheets, today, for boarding up my brother's
windows, in the Lake Charles area.Â* Price at Doug Ashy is $32 a sheet,
Home Depot is $30 a sheet, Lowes is $29 a sheet.

Our only consolation is doing some hoodoo, maybe send Laura Leon's
way, since he and folks that way seem to have an affinity for storms
and high water.

and demand went up instead):
