Could you explain why there was an increase.
Limited supply and increased demand.
And increased oil costs..

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
A sq of 30 year dimensionals has gone from $42 at the start of the year to $70 currently with another increase coming Oct 1. Plus I'm paying 1 1/2% inbound fuel surcharge. Anything special order has become almost impossible to get.

I came to Houston to work the storm, roofing has not really got cranked up yet, the adjusters are just starting to write, and people coming back home this week . I'd say the middle of next week sometime it will break .
