I put in order for metal building but wish me luck as they are announcing 35 to 40 percent increase in steel prices across the board. Think I'm locked in with down payment but who knows. 54 is safely parked down at other house in the garage we built 2 years ago. Cost of that building was less than half of current prices!!!!!!!. Get your steel parts while you can!!
I'm a general contractor. All this stimulus money is driving demand way up. My wholesale lumber prices are up 114% over this time last year. You did good buying when you did. I can only absorb so much then I have to pass it on. Wait for the $15 minimum wage and see what happens when I have to pay someone $15 an hour to carry lumber.
