OSB prices??

OSB just dropped to $12.77 today. Anyone expect it to drop or go up in the next month?

It may drop some, but that will probably be in the spring. This is a very good price. I just bought 130 sheets at $19.00 a sheet.
The factories are slowly catching up.

Wow. Hard to swallow $19 a sheet! I had been holding out on finishing my garage and finally bought the OSB today.

nah, it's only 2/3 as ridiculous as $19 ...ahahahahahaha


I bought several full bundles last winter for $4.94/sheet. Knew I was gonna build a couple houses and I always try buy stuff like that in the winter ( BUT not THIS winter.... )

In the for what it's worth column, buddy of mine down the road runs a pretty good sized sawmill and pallet operation ( 8-10 million year gross ) and they gotten $22/ton for their chips ( from slab scrap ) that went to the papermill. Now they get nearly twice that for chips sent to the OSB plant.....and they are chipping everything they can't saw.....crooked little stuff they never would have bought in years past.

Yes, $19.00 a sheet is terrible. I have been paying that much since last spring. I am ready for a big drop in price.

The prices are sad, just thinking, when i put up my garage 2 years ago i was paying around $5 a sheet. If i am not mistaken Home Depot had OSB for $14/sheet last weekend.
