OSB dropped another 15%. Now at $20.75/ea at our Home Depot.

$22.25 for 7/16 osb here in San Diego.

23/32 plywood $53.96 down from about $68 two months ago.

I had a bunch of lumber projects this spring... really felt the sting. Went through about 80 2x4s, rebuilt a balcony... the worst was the day I spent $560 on three 6x6x12 and four brackets for the balcony.

$16.87 at Menards
That must be the 11% sale price, right? I'm pretty sick of their false advertising and cumbersome rebate system.

Pro tip : if you have a menards in your area, then your local home depot always matches the 11% sale from menards over the exact same time periods. Bonus, their online rebate system works MUCH better than mailing in stupid paper forms to menards and hoping to get something in return.

That's good to know.

Is the Home Depot rebate a check I can cash or a voucher that can only be redeemed on my next purchase?

Friends don't let friends use OSB.

Says the man that just spent $500 on 10 sheets of plywood.

Osb is fine for it’s intended use. Sure it doesn’t hold up to water but if your roof is leaking any deck will be garbage soon. BTW osb is back down considerably. I just bought some for around $15 a sheet.

You've got to warn us before making statements like that. I choked so badly I almost had to give myself the Heimlich's!

yesterday, 7/16 OSB at HD in Campbell, CA was $22.45 + 9.375% sales tax, or $24.55 each.

15/32 4-ply CDX plywood was $36.55, or $39.98 each, total. Ouch.

10.75% for the Governor 30 minutes up the road from you!!!

Try buying expensive items like tractors or vehicles in a cheaper tax rate area and they still charge you based on home address..

There was a gas station with very high double take prices... motorists would drive in and often leave.

The old guy wanted to retire and complaints to Corp learned dealers set price.

It became such an issue and PR problem the oil company bought the station... which many said was the end game...

As long as it's intended purpose isn't for building things. There's a reason it's cheaper. It's not only **** with water, it's heavier and weaker. A buddy of mine had a house built. Paid a fortune. Stucco over osb. "but with proper waterproofing..." 7 years later it was shot. He had to have ALL the stucco removed and a good amount of the osb replaced and put vinyl siding on, to the tune of $150k. He sued the builder and the builders insurance covered most of it, but it was a nightmare.

There's no way to keep everything moisture proof forever. Even humidity affects things. Sure, plywood may not last forever but it'll last a hell of a lot longer than OSB. There's a reason brick buildings are still standing 100 years later. Maybe you're a bit long in the tooth but I still plan on hanging around a good while longer. And I want anything I build to not only last my lifetime, but my children's lifetime.

Bought at Lowes this week:

5, sheets 3/4 severe weather plywood $ 58
12, 2x8x12 salt treated $ 20
3, 4x6x12 ground contact $ 28

$ 650.00 with tax.

Don't know if I could have got better somewhere else but I cannot pout off building my shed any longer.

A friend of mine is getting me all my 2x4's and 2x6's delivered to me for right around $ 500. Shed is 12 x 12. He has a sawmill and cut a lot of big yellow pine last year. I know I am saving with him. He always treats me good. Plus tax free!!
