Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

Actually it's certain things that have skyrocketed. The things I needed to build countertops, a sheet of 3/4" particle board was $28 and a sheet of laminate is $70-100...Those aren;t terrible

Yes the floor is all done, and the prices for VCT had not gone up. I paid someone to do the repair, and deducted it from their security deposits. Same with the extra cleaning...I had someone come in for 2 days and help me. I talked to the group today and mailed the remainder of their money back. They were actually very grateful that they got any money back. BUT it was Covid, so I had mercy on them. I was lucky to collect rent all year!

Next, I have to break it to the new tenants I am selling and they might have a new landlord, if I do....and be prepared for some showings :o
I think it's the just in time supply lines. I imagine the prices will go down some but probably never back to what they were. Sigh..... I have another fascia repair left and I am not going to pull the entire board. I'm just fixing the last 3-4 ft that split.
That's actually the most important thing to get done. Tuesday demo starts.
I could measure how low my caffeine level is by thinking, "I wonder what he's demonstrating?" then I realized it was demolishing :lol:
 
That's amazing! I have to say, I love my e-bike too....and I remember you said I would!! It's probably the most fun thing I have bought for myself in well over a decade! And I have a bunch of toys / hobbies that sit there. I'd rather ride my e-bike than my motorcycle. It's just really relaxing, and mind clearing!!

Cooling off here for the next week, almost a little too much! But I have counter tops to build in a second floor apartment so it's probably good!!

TGIF everyone!!
It reminds me of being a kid again. And I like the opportunity to slow down a little bit and see things better by bike, as opposed to just commuting from point A to point B

Read that the price of lumber/plywood has increased 375% since last year and no one knows or predicts if and when it will come down. Fuck me running

It scares me as I put my OLD rentals on the market. Even though they are in a prime location, and they are leased for the upcoming year, most everything in these places is old and in need of updating. It would cost a fortune to renovate them. Hopefully the location and the income will be enough to find a buyer willing to pay good $$$$.

I imagine the fires have had a lot to do with lumber prices...Like everything, it's supply and demand, and the demand is super high. Then Covid of course!
That's wild. There has been a certain types of plastic and paper shortage too. Lots of supply lines have been frikked to hell. It's even showing up in my hobby and wargaming sphere.
I stopped into a bicycle shop, and the owner told me they weren't expecting bike and bike part inventory issues to be resolved for 2-3 years.
 
I sent my HP laptop in for a warranty repair like 2 months ago...They say they can't gte parts. Like WTF, send me a new laptop then, but noooo. I will never buy another HP products. The absolute WORST customer support...from India!

we've had selected exhaust systems on back order for the last 4 months, our carb guys can't even get intake manifolds and yesterday they told me one of the carbs i use is now on backorder and they don't when they are coming in
