   I wonder why OSB came down?

   Oh, didn't you hear? The government finished all the construction projects  in Iraq; less rain in the northwest so they loggers could get the logs out; LP,Weyerhauser etc made a pile of money and need a break in the cash flow to count it all. I pick the last one.

   Thanks for the replys.  I read the thread(s) about OSB in the past but am looking for 1 or more articles about building materials in general.  There was one in JLC about 4 months ago, but I'm looking for some more up to date info.

   ThanksMatt

   Hurricanes only make for short lived price spikes - Mostly panic buying and speculation.

   Nothing like what we've sen the past couple of years.Those who can, do. Those who can't, get patents.

   I'll say it.  Actually, it's not evil, just typical.  The administration has been playing hardball with Canada over various trade policies and NAFTA issues.  By imposing tariffs on Canadian lumber, the administration enabled our local rich guys to sock it to us.

   Ya just did...

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....

                                                                      WOW!!!   What a Ride!
