Lumber? Try everything.

The price and lead times on raws are incredible now. Buying steel now is almost 2x in cost. With having 'caps' put onto orders, so that suppliers can keep their customers on.

The resin shortages which hurt the plywood industry also have spilt over into other markets. For example PVC/CPVC manufacturers are experiencing shortages in resins used in their manufacturing of pipe. Thus they're limiting order sizes to their companies and buyers to keep more of them on.

Meanwhile lots of factories and construction have never been busier with more demand for raws. So with large leadtimes, supply chains and manufacturing gets choked up and it just kind of ripples out.

I understand there are shortages of Romex style electrical cable, not because of copper, but because of insulation. Perhaps because of the resin issue you mention?
