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.

Pinched by supply and demand, if you are a consumer buying a few sheets you feel it the most. If a supplier has a customer who he does a seven/ eight figure business with they will get priority, I have seen small items beginning to show signs of coming down in price and availability, we will see, imagine that,, the good old days two years ago,, LOL
