Designed to Passive standards but not required to meet all the criteria. Just needs to produce more power than it consumes. The "Net Zero" program is same same, but different.

It’s $25.6 at Slegg and Windsor. 2x4x8’ is under $5 now. Truss prices are dropping. Only was an extra $120 to vault my m/b trusses for my addition.
Somewhat helps against the crazy supply issues of glass, pvc pipe, and tub surrounds.

And with hardi products being on allocation the lead times are long. 8-10 weeks for colour-plus. Was told by Emco that tub/shower one pieces are next spring now.
It’s pretty stressful when you submit for permit and then the next day get your orders in for windows, trusses, plumbing fixtures.

Certainly not , and more lateral bracing would kinda defeat the purpose , even with rebar stakes thru 2x4 sleepers. I've always preferred the two stage pour, footings then walls.

Last two additions ( my house and a clients) we have done mono-pours. Granted they were slab on grade so the walls were only Approx 16” high. Slightly more labour cost but saved the minimum charge for the pump and concrete. Wasn’t bad. Pretty darn accurate.

Nice to see that the crazy is getting going again this year. Homedepot 2x4’s are back up to 9 buck. That puts a hold on my spring projects. I would rather put fuel in the boat at this point

Yeup. Funny that nobody is talking about it now though. It's nearly as high as before.

We'll all start taking abut it April 1st when we're not allowed to fish and then find we can't afford to do the project we told our wives we would do in April.

We all bought it at the high prices before, just the same as everybody kept on buying new vehicles with jacked up prices. We've set the precedent that we're okay paying ******** prices. All bets are off now.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. They've realized how much more they can make working together to screw us even harder. No need for competition anymore.

yeah i wish i would of bought some 2by10s now for the garden boxes
I have decided I want to build my own dining table. Does anyone have any good recommendations on where to buy retail hardwoods? I am thinking of western maple as it's my first bigger project and don't want to dive any something too expensive as much as black walnut is beautiful. I am in Victoria.

With the price of gas these days, you should park the boat and get to those spring projects.

years ago our largest competitor used to send all of its competition their new pricing list at the start of their fiscal year to let us know what they were charging with a closing line “ have a good year.” price fixing? dunno but it worked. we all matched them.

Talking with Windsor Plywood (we deal with a lot) they figure lumber will do what it did last year. Go sky high this winter early spring then start to drop in a couple months.
That’s what I think will happen.
