          Hurricane and Fire season just about done. Local plant was making OSB siding to value add but are now switching back to just straight OSB as demand is high and price is good

            It's been this way since 100 oil. Nothing has gone down. And it won't.

              Cousin owns a good sized mill and the wholesale price went up a $100/ 1000 board feet because the BC mills couldn't get logs with all the fires. He was happy😉
