My next project is to replace a 12' X 4' octagon planter that over 5 years old & starting to crumble. Was made out of landscape timbers.
Priced out project using 4x4x8 treated lumber. On 2/19/2022, the price was $12.48 a board at Lowes. Checked the price on Sunday, they were at $13.38 each. Up $.90 a board. Just got on line and the price is now $16.38 each. It jumped $3.90 a piece in less than 3 weeks.
Kinda funny, they had over 800 back in Feb. Now they have in stock 750. So there was no turn over in stock for a fuel price hike surcharge.
Man are we getting screwed over.
I'm now going with landscaping timbers. They are at $6.09 each. I will pick them up tomorrow before they go up in price.
Regular gas here in Central PA at $4.29 a gal.
Everybody stay safe & warm.
