the price of wood has been going up lately... but shouldn't this be in the C7 cars for sale-wanted section?

I totally understand.
I’ve had to slow down buying parts for my restomod so I can afford to finish our home remodel.
And that’s ok because the way gas prices are going up I won’t be able to afford to put gas in my Corvette when I finish it anyway.

If these lumber prices continue to push up new construction like they have, you'll see more of the 3D printed houses going up.

I saved a bunch of 2 X 6 studs earlier in the year, at these prices I am glad I held on to them!
