Pay attention people! This is what happens when you properly soak your logs in wood!!
LickFury
Keep your bushes trimmed or leave out the bushes altogether to help make your deck look bigger
beardedwolfedude

It just looks big because there’s no bush(es).
CritterMazes

PhailRaptor
Did you trim the bushes to make it look bigger?

Stick... stick your deck in it.
sonofkrypton99

yourbassist
We have similarly sized decks
noneyobusisness
Nice deck man!
Marble1
Cut the bushes back and your deck will look bigger
palfreygames
Can't just show your deck unannounced like that
Evanrudeplz

mypylon

sparkywires200212
iceColdBlueSnow
Wow no bushes. Looks pretty big.
barbarian818
I see you keep the grass mowed short to make it look bigger.

joelosteensharts
I don’t know if it’s just me but some of that deck seems out of plumb and level. I hope you poured concrete piers as well.
ohcrummybuttons
I'm wondering if the uneven railing heights are making it look more that way?
Churmybro
I'm a builder who specializes in decks and renovation and more often then not true level always looks out of level. It's usual an illusion
pablo1669
I built my deck and swear it looks off level but measured it 475 times, bought a new larger level and measured 200 more times.
Tell me about it! I use a laser and I still don't trust it
tiderfish
That wood now is prolly worth more than the house!
grimdis
Lumber Mill Supervisor here; supply is still good here in Canada but demand has skyrocketed, housing market is hot, many people renovating
vagasil
interest rates are low so building materials go high
heisman86
The house is made with wood, too!
trip2112
Could you imagine the cost of stain and having to stain it every 3-5 years?
ImbetterthanOKImHomerSimpson
Trim ur bushes it makes ur deck look bigger.. good joke but no bushes
xCloud576
Seriously. I wanna build a bookshelf....
BosunMark
Was gonna say, Million dollar deck...
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Fucking wood, man... it's ridiculous at this point.

Not like it grows on trees or something.

Sad facts about decks. They only add 70% of what they cost to build in home value.
Calise425
But you have a sick ass deck!
martineb72
With land like that pick a deck is almost mandatory. It might even make the house worth more.
AawesomeAardvaark
Most home additions don't add as much value as they cost
andychristman2000
Next your gonna tell me my brand new car will lose value when I drive home from the dealership,
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
In lighter news, a $100 flower bed, a $300 front fence (got neighbors approval to just tie in) and cleaned out brush got +$5k on appraisal >
Next up is finish out 350sq ft attic bonus space for about $1k ($750 after rebates) and it's gonna add $3.5k in value
That's just appraised value, doesn't mean you can sell it for that much more. Though I could see turning the attic into usable space is good
Kayrodo
noob here, reno for sale or like thanks for the increase in property tax?
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
Yeah, what’s going on. Why has wood gone up so much?
Goodnightjohnboy
Something something capitalism. /s
IlluRex
No kidding. I just spent 1500 for wood for a ground level deck. 14x12' + 9x8'. Nothing fancy.

Less cutting and milling during COVID shutdowns last year (still to some degree today maybe?!), everyone remodeling during shutdown etc
CorydorasAfavorplease
Unprecedented demand and not enough supply, labor, or transport.

dcmasta
COVID, bought my house (new build) in July of last year. If I waited until this year, extra $25k because of lumber costs.

Well goddammit. I have to replace my back steps. Shit.

Thats why MY wood goes up
NarratesTheDarkerStory
Because of all this Hemp business. Cheaper, more effecient and environmentally safer paper, particle boards that hold nails better than¹
chipped wood p-boards, and it's twice as strong, plus with legalized weed gaining support, the byproduct of that industry could basically ²
end the need for trees to make paper products tomorrow! (1 acre of hemp makes same amount of paper-pulp fibers as 4 acres of trees)
so clearly we need take drastic, never before thought of steps, and create a fake-info smear campaign against hemp! -D;bNR [Lumber industry]
DiedAndHauntingImgur
.... what
....no? nobody? the old Lumber industry propaganda that was wildly successful in demonizing hemp, leading to hemp being criminalized?
granted it sounds like conspiracy theory, and by the downvotes I'm guessing it is? I really need to remember that /s. Off day.
Cronos51101
Dude, supply chain stuff is bananas right now. I work in automation and lead times are getting crazy on almost everything we use.
techteach
Work part tine at a bike shop. Some trek models are back ordered through summer 2022. It’s absolutely insane
RelartOfGivia
I'm waiting 12 weeks on shelving that usually took 2 weeks.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
yep, 15week lead time for siemens VFD's. This shit is getting ridiculous.
Chouilste
Any hopes it goes down again?
Given time things should calm back down, but I have no idea what kind of time that will take.
mikaandmilodogs
If commodity prices were to fall suddenly it would be bc or a crash which would f everybody (as if we’re not already)
Waidonut
I do hobby pottery snd supply is fucked there too
adventureswithadhd
Seriously! Looked right before Christmas and skutt kilns had 22 month waiting time for delivery.
Holy shit!! Everyone decided to do this in their basement I guess!? I'm waiting two months for some glaze!
spickate
Same in my field. On everything. Wood, plastics, stainless. All of it
Cardboard as well
jskskj8888
Trucking here, shits just piling up at terminals no place to put it not enough man power or equipment to move it.
AnonsAndMinions
This due to COVID or what?
aharami
You aren't kidding about psychics plastics. I knew lumber is at a all time high. But had a heart attack when I went for a vinyl fence quote
3k last year. Held off to spend funds on other projects. Same materials, 8k now!!
Gerthquake
It's almost like using "just in time" delivery methods for every step of large supply chains in the name of margins is irresponsible or smtn
slinkydust
Seems to me that it probably saves on waste
There are definitely merits to just-in-time, but taken too far makes you vulnerable to supply chain interruptions.
ComeOnManYouHadOneJobToDo
Didn’t they do it to drive operational cost down since they did warehouse anything?
Sure, and in many but not all businesses that can be fine. But the practice has become so widespread that we have no reserves of anything.
Not to mention almost all companies above a certain size pocket the savings for executives at our expense. Nothing for workers or customers.
Huge chunks of the US petrochemical/base chemical/raw plastics industry declared Force Majeure due to the Texas freeze. It's insane
And they were barely keeping up with demand on some of the products even before. PC, PC ABS, ABS for example
BurtTyrannosaurusMacklinFBl
Dow, Eastman, Exxon all had force majeure or sales control following Houston and before that chemical feedstocks have been rising
