Default The price of plywood and OSB ouch!

Well I was in Lowe’s on Sunday and just happened to walk down the plywood aisle. OSB ( roof decking on all homes and wall sheathing on frame homes) was $25.45 a 7/16x 4x8 sheet and real plywood 15/32x4x8 was $42.45. Sanded plywood was $60 and up. I am sure the builders can get it somewhat cheaper. I can remember paying $7-8 dollars a sheet for OSB and when there was a major hurricane it would spike to $12 because people were boarding up with it.
