And now it's time for the Covid "I guess" lumber shortage

Some of the shortage in lumber is due to the Corona virus temporary interrupting supply chains. And some of it is due to the fact that many folks are doing home improvement projects instead of traveling/vacationing this year.
I am having a wood fence replaced. All three of the fence building companies that took the time to quote the job said they are on the way to a record year this year. There were another half a dozen companies that said they are already booked solid for the next months,,,
So yes, some of the lumber shortage is directly due to CV, the majority of the shortage is due to the demand factor.
