Steel prices up 20% in some sectors

[HayDR]

We purchase hundreds of thousand tiller blades from Europe. Both Italy and Spain manufacturers are soon having to purchase on the spot market. This will effect tine replacement $1-2 each on the wholesale side. Chinese junk tines will be less effected.

Structural steel shapes are up about 30%. At least they are not up as much as lumber!!!!

If I was a gambling man, that's one wager I would pass on.

It won't be in 2 years, but for certain in 4.5 years....after the next election when the thieves in DC will enrich themselves at our expense. Having the prices increase to drastically in the next couple years would put the spotlight on them too bright right now.

If these guys have their way, we won't have any gas and oil.

I just priced out a 30’x36’ wood Pole Shed enclosed on 3 sides with 26ga galvalume @ $12k. I priced a 30’x40’ steel framed shed enclosed on 3 sides with 26ga galvalume @ $13,750. Are you Kiddin’?!?!? Lumber is Out Of Site! ! ! I, of course, am going with the steel frame shed.
